RAF Stoke Holy Cross Receiver Reserve

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

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 buried. Two ventilator shafts, both with missing caps, sit to the east of the entrance hatches. The four bases of the reserve transmitter tower sit to the north.

INTERIOR: The interior was inaccessible at the time of this assessment (2023) as the entrance to the buried reserve has been sealed.
