Description

The Ready Use Pyrotechnic Store (Building 64) is a former storage facility located immediately to the north-west of Hangar 2 at the former RAF West Raynham. It was constructed between 1937 and 1938, designed by JW Binge from the Air Ministry's Directorate of Works and Buildings, based on an original design by Archibald Bulloch.

The building is made of monolithic concrete and has a rectangular shape, aligned from north-east to south-west. On the main north-west side, there are three fire-proof steel doors made by Dorman Long & Co Ltd of Middlesbrough. The rear elevation features three ventilation grilles at the plinth, likely original, and three later 20th-century ventilation grilles just below the eaves, which were modified from openings that originally held plate glass windows. The side walls are solid with no openings.

Inside, the space is divided into three storage cubicles. The original brick-built cupboards with steel doors have been removed.
