Wem G-16 Depot

Hello, My name is Craig and i live in the small Market Town of Wem in Shropshire. Many years ago i found a photograph on this site of a map of the G-16 stores depot in Wem, which had amazing detail i must add. The depot has now become Wem Industrial Estate. And was for a time an R.A.O.C stores depot too. I am reaching out to anyone who could help me find said map again as the thread seems to have gone, or has simply become lost in the abundant information this site offers. The thread was titled something like " what is this " "what was this " etc . Any help would be massively appreciated, beyond comprehension. Its become somewhat of an obsession if not an addiction.

many thanks

Craig

I am fairly sure that I kept that drawing onto my external 'record' drive but I cannot access it until I complete a house move.

I subscribe to Fold3 and have spent a couple of hours this morning on a tablet and frustratingly slow WiFi looking for the G-16 Depot plan without success. I know it is there but cannot locate it.

If no one else can provide a copy I should be able to do so but not for several weeks.

Thank you all so much. I shall look into full membership if not to costly as none of the links seem to work due im sure to the "paywall". Its great to see such a strong response so again i thank you all. Ill have a go tomorrow evening as i need my 40 winks.

All the very best ( and a huge thanks again )

Hello Craig
I also have an interest in the Wem depot as I live about an hour away. My main interest is a similar depot at Trefnant in North Wales which has some info on Fold 3. I found this photo taken at Wem some time ago in an online extract from a US Quartermaster history. You might just be able to match up where it was taken. Trefnant was occupied by Afro-American troops (known as negroes in those days) and I believe they were also at Wem.

Hello, its addictive isnt it ! Thanks for the image. I can match up exactly where it was taken, though another image i have conforms that between construction and the present day the skylights in the units have moved and changed in number. I even have sources that suggest a re-cladding has taken place at some point. Ill get there ! If i ever find anything regarding your plight i shall be in contact. Best of luck with your research.

Dave,
Can you share the location for the Trefnant Depot please?
Thanks
