Airfield Traffic Control Building
Image: © Hywel Williams Taken: 10 Jul 2005
During the Second World War, this square contained an air field. Since then, the area has been redeveloped and the air base now only remains in the name of surrounding buildings built since closure (The Spitfire, Pilot's Bistro). Geographically, this is one palpable reminder of the area's previous use - an air traffic control building, in the middle of a new housing estate. A listed building, it is believed that this building is about to be converted into a restaurant.
