Building record 8149/1/8 - Main Domestic & Administrative Buildings

{1} At c.SP83205560 are a collection of associated buildings, some of which at least are still present.

{2} Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out archaeological recording of buildings at the Yardley Chase Cadet Training Centre. The cast iron and brick-built, single-storey buildings were built during WWII as office and accommodation buildings associated with a munitions storage depot. The munitions storage buildings were located in woodland to the east. Some of the buildings in the survey were found to be unused. The fabric of the buildings showed evidence of alterations such as blockaed doorways. After 1980, the area became a training ground, latterly becoming part of the East Midlands Training Area.

[HER note 18/12/2014: the buildings indexed under this PrefRef (8149/1/8) are those whichy were not specifically subject to the 2013 survey.]
