When I photographed this from the far end of the car park Image I didn't realise its significance, or I would have taken a closer look. This plain single storey brick building of 1939 would have been used as a civilian Decontamination Centre in the event of a German gas attack, and has been listed grade II (list entry 1462139) as a well preserved example.
