Abstract: |
An historic building record of a Second World War Radar Station was prepared during conservation works and repairs to the surviving building, the transmitter/receiver block. The station housed an army Coast Defence/Chain Home Low radar. Its operational history is sparse but it was probably constructed in 1942 and may have been decommissioned in 1944, having been transferred for a period to the Royal Air Force. The building was constructed of mass concrete to a standard design. Surviving fittings include the doors, window shutters and some of the internal electrics. Limited evidence for the location of equipment was recorded; however, by comparison with other sites, a conjectural layout has been put forward. |
