The central block was purpose built for a "Water Cure" establishment by Dr Wilson in the 1840s. Later the County Hotel when two wings were added. During WW II many of the Radar scientists stayed here. Later it became a hostel for apprentices and young scientists working at the Radar establishment (just visible top left). Now private apartments.
