Cold War, Transformer and Sub-station Building 70, Nuclear Weapon Storage Facility, RAF Barnham [TL 8512 7977]
ANCILLARY BUILDINGS –
The ancillary buildings at the main gate were originally between the outer wire mesh fence and the inner concrete wall. This arrangement was altered in about 1958 and the fence reconfigured so that the ancillary buildings where sited outside the secure perimeter.
Approaching the store area from the south the metal rails for the original electric gate are visible in the roadway. To the east is a large Seco hut building 67, the Duty Officer's hut, and a dog-legged corridor links it to another Seco hut, which may have been erected after the closure of the RAF station. To the east of this hut is a small brick building 75 which housed the small arms ammunition and pyrotechnic stores. Returning to the entrance, immediately outside the main gate is a single-storey brick building 71, the stand-by set house, and behind it is an open three-sided brick structure building 70 (Drg. No. 1248/53) type ND, which housed a transformer and sub-station.
