Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out a historic building recording of Block 8, Lambourn Business Park, Lambourn Woodlands, Hungerford, Berkshire (SU 32300 75874). The building originated as part of RAF Membury Airfield, a dispersed airfield camp with 12 sites, established in 1942 as a bomber operational training unit at Lambourn Woodlands. The main site was surrounded by 11 dispersed sites, including the communal site, instructional site and W.A.A.F site. The study building is situated at the airfield's former communal site and was the Officers Mess. The building comprises four interlinked buildings arranged around an internal courtyard. The western and southern wings of the building were used by officers for dining and recreation, while the eastern and northern wings housed a kitchen, food preparation area, boiler room, water tower and larders. Due to later alterations original function of each building is not particularly legible; however, a small number of historic features survive, allowing the layout of these areas to be partially reconstructed. Of particular interest are two surviving murals, one partially extant and one fully intact and a survivng section of internal partition. Post war, the building was substantially altered and refurbished to be used as offices and light industrial units. |
