Interesting Fact:
In 1949, following a study carried out in 1947, the ICI Company was commissioned by the Ministry of Fuel and Power to develop a small salt cavity in the ICI Brinefield at Holford near Plumley. It was constructed by leaching out brine and designed to be able to hold approximately 5,000 cubic metres of petroleum.
