Description
{1} A Level 2 Historic Building Survey of the retained WWII airfield infrastructure buildings. The site consists of a rectangular area of land of approximately 27378m2 to the south of Welford Road. A British Concrete Federation modular hut, a Stanton air raid shelter and two blast shelters survive on the site along with a brick retaining wall belonging to a fuel compound and a transformer plinth. A number of former building bases and roadways are also still present. The buildings formed WAAF Communal and Quarters Site Number 1 which was part of a dispersed site serving RAF Husbands Bosworth. Following the end of the war the site was used as a camp for displaced Polish families until 1958. The site has been unused since that date. At the time of building survey the site was unused.
