Building 58, former RAF Barnham atomic bomb store

Building 58 is a bomb inspection building.

MATERIALS Building 58 has a reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, over-painted at the east end, and is shielded by freestanding blast walls.

PLAN The building has a rectangular plan, aligned approximately east-west.

EXTERIOR The building has projecting entrance bays to the east and west, which contained airlocks internally, both of which have double height steel doors through which the bombs would travel. To the north are attached single storey toilet blocks and a store room with replaced fenestration.
