Control Tower at the former RAF Kirton in Lindsey

The Control Tower at the former RAF Kirton in Lindsey is a Second World War structure built around 1940, designed according to Air Ministry design 2328/39, commonly referred to as the ‘villa’ type.

The building is made of reinforced concrete and features an internal reinforced concrete staircase and roof. It is a two-storey structure, with the flying field elevation showcasing horizontally-banded glazing in the ground-floor watch office. The first floor contains a recessed control room with an oversailing balcony and a metal balustrade that wraps around the east and west elevations. The control room has curved corners in the moderne style and extensive horizontal glazing. Above, the flat roof is bordered by a concrete parapet. At the rear, there is a projecting stair turret with a flat roof, narrow stair lights, and a single oculus on each elevation near the cornice. A single-storey side porch provides access to the base of the turret. The east and west elevations feature individual windows on both the ground and first floors.

Inside, the layout remains largely unchanged. The ground floor includes distinct areas for the watch office, forecast room, duty pilots' rest room, and teleprinter room. The rear stairs, equipped with simple metal balusters and a timber handrail, lead to the first floor, where room divisions are mostly intact, and access continues to the roof above. No contemporary equipment is present in the interior.
