andym Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Magazine precautions as per the Victorian Palmerston Forts on Portsdown Hill? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Explosive works 1700's ? Well done pretty much there in the first shot! Although the date, as others surmised was rather later, in fact it was 1941. I was expecting suggestions along the lines on a new olympic hurdle race, G4S changing rooms etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's why they moved to limbo-less gun carriages. It stopped a lot of the faffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 There was a Foyles war episode that featured a munitions factory and the set up was the same as was confirmed by a lad who worked for me who in a previous life had worked at ROF Chorley He reckoned it was pretty well spot on in the TV series and hadnt changed much up till the ROF closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes its interesting that you have to climb over the barrier in your underclothing rather than underneath it. It's a gate, not a barrier. Check out the ones in the Nothe Fort, Weymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Still used on explosive sites. Simple cheap and virtually fool proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Clive, I think the crucial phrase is pass over the barrier; thinking back to the ones I've seen and if I remember correctly, as said above the bar is a gate which is opened and closed but there is a board across at floor level (see your drawing) which one steps over.

You may well be right. I was just misled as the gate/bar seemed to be labelled as the barrier rather than the board resting on the floor.
