Abstract:		 The site consists of a small single storey aeroplane hangar at the southern end of the airstrip at Woodford Aerodrome, Woodford, near Stockport, Greater Manchester, known as the Avro Shed due to 'A.V. Roe and Co Ltd' being painted across the principal elevation. It was recorded to a Level 3, as defined by English Heritage, following storm damage and in mitigation of it's removal from the site ahead of development. The shed was believed to be one of the earliest buildings on the site following the formation of Woodford Aerodrome in 1924. It was on a north-west to south-east axis, constructed of a steel clad frame in corrugated iron, and two and a quarter bays wide, consisting of two barrel vaulted roofs divided by a central ridged roof section. The trusses supporting the barrel vaulted roof spans were a hybrid of scissor- bow-strung trusses. The date of it's original construction is thought to be either 1916, having been moved from Avro's previous location on Alexandra Aerodrome, Manchester, or c. 1930 and built specifically for Avro. It does not appear tp conform to any apparent standard type of airfield building construction, and there are no known similar buildings of this design in Britain, although there are similar, but much larger, sheds from the First and Second World War airfields in the United States. Consequently, it is custom-built for Avro (possibly in 1927)
