"It is unclear when this shed was erected, however we do know that in 1955/56 a āmilitary barrack style wooden hut (was) requisitioned from RAF Pershoreā (Peter Knight- former site owner) to form the housing over the ballistic camera. Clearly, the present structure is not of timber and at some period between 1955/56 and the erection of the Hewitt Camera in 1962, the wooden hut was replaced with the extant asbestos and aluminium structure, the wooden hut can be seen still standing in 1963 archive film footage. The shed has a pair of double doors to the south elevation which, when opened would allow the shed to be pushed down the tracks, leaving the camera open to the night sky. There is also a single door to the north elevation for pedestrian access. Because of the heat generated from the camera and associated equipment an electrical cooling system was installed, this largely survives today. The gearing, wheels and tracks used to push the shed forwards andbackwards still remain insitu. The shed measures 2.6 metres long, 2 metres wide and approximately 3 metres high to the ridge.Above the double doors a manufacturers plate is still insitu, it reads "Carter refrigeration"
