Also on the half-acre site is a small bunker type building that has been described as a concrete air raid shelter for use by the nurses. It seems unlikely to me despite its wartime provenance, as the building appears to have a window, surely an unusual fixture for such a building (unless added postwar). UPDATE: mystery solved - from the site plan: Building 347 Ablutions/Latrine (with thanks to Richard Drew of Atlantikwall for this information http://www.atlantikwall.co.uk/ ) Image
