Although large in size this appears to be the former lodge house at the entrance to the former Papplewick Grange. This private road, albeit a track, is a left hand turning off Moor Road, (the B683) seen here heading towards Papplewick. Behind a boundary hedge to the photographer's right are fields currently in use for arable purposes. This rectangular area, near the boundary with the Griffin's Head pub area and Forest Road (the B6011), is referred to on some maps as Papplewick Moor and it appears that it hosted the Royal Flying Corps Papplewick Moor Station and RAF Papplewick Moor Station between October 1916 - November 1945.
