Description

The building is a former Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Report Centre used during the Second World War for civil defence operations. Built around 1940-41, it is a single storey brick structure with a concrete roof. The building was built by James Miller and Sons and is of a simple design, prioritising function over form, with very few visible features on the exterior other than the doors and the windows, now covered up. There are more visible original features in the interior of the structure. These include the concrete mounting block for a generator or similar electrical equipment in one of the central rooms, the original doors including the hatched door to the former Message Room, electrical conduits and junction boxes and the four pane clerestory windows with timber frames and central hopper, which remain in place although covered on the exterior. The Report Centre was painted in 2011, including a graffiti mural on the north wall of the building, with the remaining exterior painted dark green.
