File:Holton Heath RN Cordite Factory.jpg
The factory site can be clearly seen bounded to the north by the A351 road and to the south by the railway running along the shore of Poole Harbour.

Holton Heath Railway Station is at the extreme southern tip of the site.

The western end of Rockley Viaduct where the LSWR Waterloo-Weymouth railway crosses Lytchett Bay can be seen at the right hand side of the image.

Immediately to the south of the viaduct is Rockley Jetty served by the private railway track leading there from the factory and crossing over the LSWR Waterloo-Weymouth tracks just after half distance.

Unrestricted public domain status for both access and use confirmed in writing on the NARA Catalogue entry.
