Abstract: |
The historic building recording produced a photographic record of accessible structures which formed part of Site No. 4 of RAF North Killingholme. 6.1.2 The record produced provides a suitable preservation by record prior to demolition works. Despite limited survival, the survey successfully established the form, function, character and extent of the extant structures within the former WWII RAF dispersed Site No. 4 which provided accommodation for personnel including airmen, sergeants, and officers who were based on Site. This Site was built in 1942 as part of a wider network of dispersed sites belonging to RAF North Killingholme. The structures were mainly constructed as temporary buildings with concrete and brick foundations most of which survived at ground level despite substantial damage. Of note were three Air Raid Shelters, built with pre-cast concrete arched panels, one of which with a collapsed section; and a Fuel Compound composed of two brick-built opposed 'U'-shaped units intersected by an entrance track which run through the compound in a north-east south-west alignment. |
