These single storey buildings look quite curious. In fact they used to be taller but when the nearby RAF airfield was built in 1942 these buildings had their upper stories removed to stop them getting in the way of aircraft landing or taking off. Since this photograph was taken a new two storey building has been built in this row. See Image
