the decoy
A few miles to the east of RAF Woodvale is this structure on the open fields of Downholland Moss between Southport and Liverpool. It is a dummy light site dating from the Second World War. The platform on the end of the structure housed a large spotlight which was shone around the adjoining fields to mimic the taxi-ing and take off of airplanes. The generators were housed in the rear of the structure and there was a blast wall a the bottom of the steps on the right. Now it is gently decaying, probably housing the local wildlife
