I photographed this before, and I will explain again: these signs indicate where the next underground water supply/fire hydrant is. H100 = the pipe has a diameter of 100mm = 1000 litres can be pumped here per minute. In this case, the water is 1 m from the sign towards the photographer. Sometimes it lists how far to the right or left.
The decal underneath refers to the hiking trail you are on. There is an extensive net of hiking trails that cross each other, more so on the Fuchskaute, as Martina can confirm!
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.

ALFRED H TURNER:
Eccles and Patricroft Journal 25th June 1926 Page 10 Column 4
New Magistrate for Irlam
Mr Alfred H Turner was Chairman of the Urban District Council who had been appointed a County Justice of the Peace, and had a fine record of public service.
Born in Bolton le Moors on March 28th 1862, Mr Turner began work as a half timer in a cotton mill at the early age of 9 years old,and followed the occupation of a weaver until 1880.
In the following year he went to a Preston Mill and from 1885 to 1895 was employed as a designer,when he came to the C.W.S. works at Irlam.
For two years Mr Turner was a member of the Preston Branch of the Fabian Society and helped to found the Independent Labour Party at Bradford in 1893. Along with five others,one of whom was Mr J Penny a Director of the C.W.S.
Mr Turner also founded the Preston Branch of the I.L.P.
On moving to Irlam,he joined the Eccles branch and assisted in the candidature of the first Labour Candidates for Eccles Town Centre.
He founded the Irlam and Cadishead branch of the party and twice sat on the directorate of the Eccles Co-operative Society,a period of nine years in all.With the exception of a short break,he had been a member of the Irlam District Council since 1901,while from 1919 to 1922 he represented the district of the Lancashire County Council.
He was defeated in the latter year,but in 1921 succeeded in gaining re-election.
He was a member of the County Education and Parliamentary Committee.In 1922 he fought for Stretford Division in the interests of Labour and at one time was a Vice President of the Eccles Labour Party.
He had been actively associated with the Irlam Parish Church for a number of years and he held all offices open to laymen.
He represented the Manchester Diocese at the "Copeo" conference at Birmingham,and was a strong supporter of the Christian Fellowship Movement.
At the monthly meeting of the District Council on Tuesday June 1926 ,the members passed a resolution congratulating him upon the appointment.
In moving the resolution, Mr Melville said the honour had come after many years public work,Mr Melia,seconding said there was no doubt that Mr Turner deserved the honour.
They knew he would dispense justice with mercy and be an asset both to the Bench and the District.
In responding ,Mr Turner said he was extremely grateful to the Council for their resolution of recommendation which undoubtedly had the effect of obtaining the commision.
It was not only an honour but it gave a considerable scope for service and that he always valued.
Eccles and Patricroft Journal 25th January 1929.
ALFRED HARTLEY TURNER.
Mr. Turner had only been ill since Saturday and died the following Wednesday after an attack of Bronchitis and 'flu.
He was on the Bench of Manchester County Police Court two days the previous week, attended a Council Meeting at Irlam on the Tuesday evening and worked until Friday.
Three of his pet schemes have just reached fruition - One was the building erected on the Higher Irlam estate for recreation puposes and which was to have been officially opened tomorrow (Saturday). The other two were the Child Welfare at Irlam Hall, to be opened on the 30th instant, and the new Central School, Irlam, to be used for the first time on the 4th February.
Mr. Turner was an active member of the local area Education Committee, and past Chairman. He was Chairman of the Irlam Central School Managers, on the Board of Governors for Urmston Grammar School, Manager of other schools in Irlam and Cadishead. He was a member of the Lancashire County Council. He served on the County Committee at Preston on education, scholarship, Parliamentary School Medical and Child Welfare, and was a member of the sub-committee of Biddulph Orthopedic Clinic in Staffordshire.
The funeral takes place today (Friday) and will be attended by members and officials of Irlam District Council, representatives of the County Council and other organisations with which Mr. Turner was connected. The cortège leaves his house shortly before 1 o'clock, the service is in the Parish Church and internment in the afternoon at St. Andrew's Church, Bleak Lane, Radcliffe.

Page 3 IRLAM CENTRAL COUNCIL SCHOOL
At a local council meeting held in December 1927, Councillor Alfred H. Turner announced that a contract had been made with a Salford Building Contractor for the building of a new Council school adjoining the Council Offices, a number were in favour of calling it Irlam Central School, the meeting decided to leave the naming for a later date. On 4th January 1929 it was opened as Irlam Central Mixed Council School.shortened to Irlam Central Council School.
In 1960 with the joining of Irlam and Cadishead Senior Schools, the name was changed to Alfred Turner School.
Irlam High School came into existence on 1st September 1974.
