Description
Building 61, formerly an atomic bomb store for the RAF Barnham, is a Grade II* listed structure. It features a reinforced concrete frame with blockwork walls and a flat concrete roof, designed in a rectangular shape that runs approximately east-west.
The exterior is surrounded by substantial earth bunds. It has a central recessed entrance, with two projecting two-storey plant and switch rooms on either side, which originally housed equipment to maintain a stable environment. The original steel doors are still in place. The rear elevation includes a central door and crittall windows on the rear and sides.
Inside, Building 61 was originally divided into compartments measuring 11 by 3 bays, allowing for the storage of up to 66 bombs. The interior has since been partitioned to create smaller work units.
