Does anyone have any images of the buildings here please? They were in the field on the corner of Levers causeway/Mount road until sometime in the 90's when they were demolished

God help us,

Thanks Bert,

None of the pictures in that thread are visible to me?
However, it’s good to know some exist!

Brilliant pics - remember sneaking into there as a teen in the 80s and it was full of all sorts of cr@p including a dead cat in a carrier bag. Amazing the one with the houses on Stanley avenue in the backgroud

I don't think it was anything to do with Radar. I think it was a shore radio station for Royal Navy vessels.

Probably mostly morse but maybe some speech too. It would probably be encrypted so they may have had encryption and decryption equipment there too. The British version of Germany's 'Enigma'. Yes, we had them too!

The Z Battery (rocket projector battery) downhill from the WT station would have had a gun laying radar, whether this would have been near the rocket battery or tagged onto the wireless telegraphy station I have no idea but I'd suspect not as one was army and one was navy and it was a bit further than the usual distance from the battery.

Although rockets sound more modern and effective than guns, it was the other way around, once the radars improved the AA guns made the rocket batteries redundant. Both were very scary for aircrews.
