Description
A former Ready-Use Pyrotechnic Store (Building 77), built on the technical side of Hangar 3 in 1937/8 to the designs of JH 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 3 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 and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough. The rear elevation has three ventilation grilles placed in 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 westernmost cubicle retains its original bank of nine brick-built cupboards with steel doors. Although the other two cubicles were not inspected they are expected to retain identical cupboards.
