The Fire Research Station (7)
Image: © John Webb Taken: Unknown
The 'Main Building' at the Fire Research Station, built 1960. Housed administration, library, statistics and various small laboratories. The large grass area in front of the building provided space for relaxation for staff at lunchtime and saw cricket, football, archery and other sports taking place on it - see Image for the full extent of the grass. The previous 6 photos were taken from the roof of this building. The north side of the present Wordsworth Gardens runs right from the photographer's position. Auden Drive runs roughly through and at right-angles to the centre of this building. (Photograph scanned directly from a 35mm Agfa colour slide.)
