Full Description
{1} Nissen hut with two brick chimneys and interior lining still partially in place.
{2} Nissen hut with two brick chimneys. Interior wooden lining still partly in place. Presumed of c.WWII origin. Currently unused. Building number 87.
{3} Majority of Nissen huts on the site erected between 1915 and 1918 though use of Fletton brick ends to this hut may suggest "building or rebuilding in World War Two. It is rare to find a Nissen hut in its original context as they are easy to remove and rebuild. It probably provided additional accommodation for the gate guard or Building 86, the Ordnance Offices."
