Built in 1933, the same year as the adjacent barrack blocks, to provide facilities for over 200 corporals and airmen, but extended in 1942 to cater for the far higher number of airmen and others on the site during the Second World War; the extension was later demolished. This is the rear of the building - for the front facing onto the parade ground see Image Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1392873.
