Abstract:		 Building recording In April 2021 Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by St Modwen to undertake a programme of historic building recording of the remaining buildings of Quedgeley East Business Park, formerly No.6 Motor Transport Site of No.7 Maintenance Unit RAF Quedgeley. The buildings comprise three large storage hangars and several other support buildings such as a warden’s building. None of the Buildings are listed or locally listed. They are located just east of the M5 at Junction 12 c.1km south of the town of Quedgeley in Gloucestershire (NGR SO 80823 11285) The Buildings comprise functional and operational structures associated with the expansion of RAF storage capacity in the late 1930’s. They were built during this period to support the overall capacity of RAF Quedgeley, which was an 8-site storage facility known as a Maintenance Unit, one of several located nationally supporting the operational flying units across the country. Site No.6 was concerned with the storage, repair and alteration of many hundreds of motor vehicles of different types for deployment both in the UK and abroad. It comprises three large store blocks or hangars, a central heating station, a blister hangar, repair garage, staff canteen, staff toilet blocks and warden’s building. The structures provide evidential and historic information on the operation of an RAF vehicle storage and maintenance site from a significant period of national history. In their fabric, structures and spatial layout, the Buildings still speak of their past uses, despite alteration and conversion, and form a legible historic group. This record will preserve the historic and evidential information inherent in the Buildings for ongoing interpretation.
