How the Aycliffe ROF site looked in December 1945
 | Photographs on this page courtesy of Hydro Polymers, Newton Aycliffe. Please do not reproduce without permission.
All of the photos on this page were taken in December 1945 and show the areas occupied by the Bakelite company from this time. The ROF buildings can be seen exactly as they would have been during WWII. |

Buildings and shelters...

|
Heating pipes fed all of the buildings...
 | Large heating pipes supplied all of the buildings, many supported on tall concrete pillars.
The heating system was fed from a central Boiler House, which I beleive still exists to this day and is situated behind the Learning & Skills Council building, near the 'Blue Bridge'. |
|
Many buildings surrounded by blast mounds...
 | Many of the more vulnerable ROF buildings were surrounded by blast mounds, known as 'Bunds'.
Air Raid shelters were situated near to the buildings. |
