Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology has undertaken historic building recording works at a former Second World War military camp near Drymeadow Farm in Innsworth, Gloucestershire prior to the removal of the buildings as part of the major Taylor Wimpley Whittle Gardens redevelopment. The buildings are not listed but they are of some local heritage interest having together formed one of a number of accommodation camps associated with the nearby RAF Innsworth. RAF Innsworth was principally used by the Womens Auxiliary Air Force. Fifteen structures from the camp survive and remain partially visible while another two are thought to survive but are totally obscured by vegetation. The structures can be divided into three distinct types: surface air raid shelters constructed from prefabricated concrete panels; brick ablution blocks; and further similar brick huts which incorporated sleeping accommodation and WCs. The buildings are of limited conventional heritage significance but they are the type of structure which was constructed in huge numbers but is very rarely recorded prior to demolition. The recording will help in developing a wider typology of such buildings constructed at camps throughout the country.
