Transmitter Buried Reserve at former RAF Stoke Holy Cross

The Buried Reserve Transmitter Block at the former RAF Stoke Holy Cross was built in 1939 according to an Air Ministry design. Constructed from brick and capped with concrete, the building features a stairwell that opens into an operations room via a gas lock. From the operations room, there are rooms for an air conditioning plant and a latrine. An emergency exit provides access to a ladder and hatch at the opposite end of the operations room.

On the exterior, the buried reserve has a concrete plinth with two concrete hatches on rollers, which are now sealed under a concrete cap. Adjacent to the reserve is a ventilation tower that stands approximately 6.6 meters high and measures 0.67 meters square. There are also two smaller ventilator shafts, both capped, located to the east and west of the entrance hatches. The four bases of the reserve transmitter tower are situated to the northeast. The interior was not inspected as the entrance to the buried reserve has been sealed.
