Transmitter Buried Reserve at former RAF Stoke Holy Cross

Buried reserve transmitter block built in 1939 to an Air Ministry design from brick, capped with concrete.

PLAN: The buried reserve comprises a stairwell opening into an operations room via a gas lock. Rooms containing an air conditioning plant and a latrine open from the operations room. An emergency exit leads to a ladder and hatch at the opposite end of the operations room.

EXTERIOR: The buried reserve comprises a concrete plinth with two concrete hatches on rollers, now sealed under a concrete cap. There is a ventilation tower adjacent, approximately 6.6m high and 0.67m square. Two smaller ventilator shafts, both now capped, sit to the east and west of the entrance hatches. The four bases of the reserve transmitter tower sit to the north east.

INTERIOR: The interior was not inspected as the entrance to the buried reserve has been sealed.
