Bomb storage area beside Denton Road This old concreted track forms a loop beside which overgrown hardstandings can still be seen. The track and hardstandings date from WW2 when a large area in the vicinity of Earsham Hall was used as a bomb store by the United States Army Air Force, known as the Earsham Forward Ammunition Depot, Station 545.  Bombs were  stored in a number of woods and also beside several of the roads in the area, including Hall Road, Denton Road, Pheasants Walk, Five Acre Lane, Long Gate Lane,  Hogg Lane and this loop. Earsham Hall was the headquarters and the camp was situated in the grounds. Bombs were brought there by railway > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1597129" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1597129">Link</a> and then transported on lorries to airfields all over East Anglia.

Two storage areas are documented to have been located alongside Denton Road, one  on a grass verge on the southern edge of Earsham Park and another area of similar size was situated a short distance further  east near where  Hogg Lane emerges on Denton Road.
