Old corrugated asbestos huts, Tenterden
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 4 Aug 2007
Old (possibly wartime) huts with later adaptations on a small industrial unit near the station. These are not true "Nissen huts" because they are not semi-circular in cross-section. Another contributor has identified them as Handcraft Huts, made by the Universal Asbestos Co. Ltd. during World War II. The presence of asbestos may be the reason for their survival.
