Notes about this historic site
1 The site of a Royal Observer Corps Post established during or before December 1937 as Post 1, cluster 3 in 5 Group. It was re-named Post 2, cluster R in 8 Group in or before November 1953 as part of new measures of civil defence during the developing threat to security posed by the Cold War at which point it was considered that an elevated Post was required. The Post was then re-located [WA9628]. The Royal Observer Corps was largely manned by volunteers.
