Ho. 14

Ho.14 - Munitions Store

Ho.14 is found at the Talbots Valley junction, St Andrew. It was intended to be a large storage complex however due to rock faults this proved unsustainable and work was abandoned late 1943. The western entrance is visible from the roadside, this entrance extends 20 metres into the rock face. The eastern entrance is found in a quarry and is an unlined pilot tunnel. 5,618 cubic metres of rock was excavated, although most of this was creating a suitable rock face for tunnelling. It is likely it would have continued for a distance of some 800 metres to connect to another tunnel being excavated at Les Trunchots. The section of tunnel visible from the road is now used for storage and a workshop, with the large unlined sectioned sealed up.
