Description
A former ready-use pyrotechnic store (Building 64), built on the technical side of hangar 2 in 1937-1938 to the designs of JW Binge of the Air Ministry's Directorate of Works and Buildings (drawing number 5609/37), based on an original design by Archibald Bulloch.
MATERIALS: monolithic concrete.
PLAN: the building stands on the technical (north-west) side of Hangar 2 and is rectangular on plan, aligned north-east to south-west.
EXTERIOR: on the principal north-west side there are three fire-proof steel doors manufactured by Dorman Long & Co Ltd of Middlesbrough. The rear elevation has three ventilation grilles to the plinth, probably original, and three late-C20 ventilation grilles immediately below the eaves in altered openings which originally contained plate glass windows. The return walls are blind.
INTERIOR: the interior is divided into three store cubicles of which the original banks of brick-built cupboards with steel doors have now been removed.
