Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

I broke my keyboard, so have been using my laptop as a main keyboard. Its annoying, but allows me to put this underneath my main screen. Works well.

In his 2024 election night victory speech, President-elect Donald Trump referred to his campaign manager and soon-to-be chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as “the ice maiden” for her cool, composed style. “She likes to stay in the back,” he said. For the most part, behind the scenes is where you usually found her, that is, until Chris Wipple's Vanity Fair articles were published in December 2025. For someone who felt more at home on the periphery, these pieces were a major coming-out party.
Since 2022, I've been creating a series of portraits of Trump and those in his orbit, titled "Faces of the Republican Party". To date, I've completed ninety. Two weeks before the Vanity Fair pieces went live, I was considering my next subject. I decided on Susie Wiles (I wouldn't call this decision prescient, but my timing turned out to be perfect).
She presented an interesting challenge. Mainly working behind the scenes, Wiles' personality and actions were "background." Unlike many of the President's sycophants, she had no political aspirations beyond her current position. As Trump's trusted confidant, she was right where she wanted to be. There was no need for her to parrot him. She believed in him. As Secretary of State, Marco Rubio stated, "Her job is to actually facilitate his vision and to make his vision come to life." Her deputy chief of staff, James Blair, has added, "She brings no ego."
At the bottom of each portrait, I include a verifiable fact or quote about each person to contextualize the MAGA political atmosphere. Controversy has followed Trump and the movement he started, ranging from nonstop sexism and racism to lies and defiance of the Constitution. How should I scrutinize Wiles' role in all of this? Vanity Fair illuminated her work and, most importantly, her thoughts about the President (He's got an "alcoholic's personality." He "operates [with] a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing, zero, nothing."), the Vice President (Vance is a "conspiracy theorist"), and others. Most interestingly, she confirmed that Trump was prosecuting his adversaries from his personal "enemies' list." Nothing we didn't already know. But confirmation from an insider's perspective was seismic. Trump and his band of "disruptors" went on a major spin campaign to counteract the fallout. I had plenty to consider for my text.
Susie Wiles doesn't hesitate to give the President her opinion. As she believes in him, he trusts her. She has often disagreed with Trump, but once she's had her say, that's the end of it, whether she can alter his trajectory or not. She is a true believer.

'The large flat circular hat worn by the Kayans for protection against sun and rain is made by the women from the large leaves of a palm. Itis the only important handicraft practised by the women only. The hard tough fluted leaves are pressed flat and dried, when the flutes form ribs diverging from the stem. Triangular pieces of the length of the radius of the hat (I.E. from twelve to eighteen inches) are cut and then sewn together in a double layer; those of the upper layer radiate from the centre; those of the under layer are disposed in the reverse direction, so that their ribs diverge from the periphery, crossing those of the upper layer at an acute angle. This arrangement gives great rigidity to the whole structure. The two layers are stitched together by threads carried round the hat in concentric circles at intervals of about one inch. The peripheral edges are sewn to a slender strip of rattan bent to form a circle, the two ends overlapping. The centre is generally finished with a disc of metal or strong cloth on the outer surface.' Hose, C (1912): 'The pagan tribes of Borneo'
Periphery is an American metal band from Bethesda, Maryland (by way of Baltimore, Maryland), formed in 2005.
The Sonisphere Festival is a touring music festival which takes place across Europe between June and August. The festival is owned and promoted by Kilimanjaro Live with financial backing from AEG. It has hosted heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, and Slayer.
The idea for Sonisphere was first conceived when Stuart Galbraith was working for Live Nation, the organisers of Download Festival. The plan was to hold a series of events that would "translate into other territories". The event did not begin to materialize, however, until Galbraith left Live Nation for the events company Kilimanjaro Live.
Galbraith gained the support of the metal band Metallica, who were claimed to have helped curate the festival for later years; however, rumours were denied of Metallica signing a multi-million pound deal promising the band to headlining the festival for three years. The first run of festivals ran throughout the summer of 2009 at six venues, returning in 2010 with 11 venues.
Galbraith's plans for future festivals consist of increasing the number of festivals, making the event global rather than local to Europe, expanding the UK event into a 3-day festival, and increasing the UK capacity from 40,000 to 60,000 attendees

FRAK THE GODS TOUR! Oh happy day! The Frak The Gods Tour, featuring Periphery, The Human Abstract, Textures & The Contortionist. 4 fantastic bands which I never seen or heard before, o wait...hold on a minute... I do know a guy named Daniel de Jongh who by no chance is the lead singer of the band Textures which are touring the US and Canada just in time for me to catch up and say hello... So, hello is what we did! I hooked up with the band, hugged the boys and had an amazing night with all of them, I took my camera just in case and ended up with tons of great shots which will be represented here, o yeah! So basically I would love to thank TEXTURES for letting me hangout with them the whole night, rock with them, shoot them to bits and jump around with the rest of the crew which by no chance are really great musicians.. so check them out! (you have been warn, they are pretty heavy!!!) Periphery: www.myspace.com/periphery The Human Abstract: www.myspace.com/thehumanabstract Textures: texturesband.com/en/news The Contortionist: www.myspace.com/thecontortionistband Rock on and massive love and success to all of you, I had seriously good time! big up to Esther Viergever who connected all the dots from day one!
Once at the periphery of the town, this corner semi-detached house boasted a large floor area, a grand porch entrance with a front lawn and tree and plenty of windows facing the street - No more.
Over the last 50 years, the original occupants left, the house was subsivided into small affordable apartments, the ground floor was taken over by transient changing retail and was extended to cover the lawn.
An ugly sight, it now provides convenience shopping for the surrounding apartment an rooming house dwellers adding to the walkability of the neighbourhood.
An example of unplanned, adaptive and enterpreneurial urbanism that comes as a retrofit.
