Description

The Motor Transport Sheds (Building 48) at Hooton Park Aerodrome were built in 1917 for the Royal Flying Corps. They are constructed from rendered brick with sheet metal roofs that are boarded underneath. The sheds have a rectangular plan and consist of 13 bays, with workshops located in a rear outshut. Each bay is separated by a brick pier, and timber internal trusses are braced to the side walls with raking side struts.

These motor transport stores and garages are part of one of the most complete groups of hangars from the First World War period, which is significant in both British and European contexts. This building type is also found at Duxford and Old Sarum.
