Explosives store at Allenheads, Northumberland. Recently cleared of vegetation (2021). This is part of the Allenheads Mine complex. Construction is identical to the other Explosives stores that are located near to many of the bridges which formed parts of the Tyne Demolition line. This was most likely for storing explosives for use in the mine.
