Description

WW2 watch office (control tower) located near the original runways at J 2892 1192, on the west side of the Slatemill Road. Flat, slightly overhanging concrete roof, which advances as a canopy over an opening on the left (west) elevation). Permanent (200mm thick) cement rendered red brickwork in English garden bond. All openings are either blocked, partially blocked or contain new windows. Front elevation has a cantilevered concrete observation platform projecting at first floor level and wrapping around the front third of the left and right elevations. This has the remains of a thin tubular metal balustrade. On each floor are three equally spaced linear window openings. Left (west) elevation has a central door (partially boarded up), with two window openings to its left and a linear one to extreme right. At first floor there is a doorway at right with integral window to its right, leading onto the observation platform. To extreme left is a window opening, to the right of which is another, just below the cantilevered canopy. Rear elevation has a central door with transom (boarded over). To its left are two rectangular windows and to its right is a tall window of a similar width, which rises to first floor. To extreme left at ground floor is a small square window. At first floor, over the door, is a small rectangular window, and to its left are two sets of paired windows. East (right) elevation has five rectangular windows to ground floor. To extreme left at first floor is a doorway and integral window (both infilled) leading to the observation platform and one to first floor (right of centre).
