WWII defences of North Wales: Gwespyr Royal Naval Radar Station (1)
Overlooking the approaches to the mouths of the Dee and Mersey estuaries, the station was primarily used in a surface and coastal watching role, plotting ship movements, and keeping a close watch for enemy submarines. The station was one of only four other stations, all of which were in northern Scotland, and was only operational for a short time between December 1942 and October 1944. It was equipped with a type T273 Coastal Defence centimetric radar using a rotating parabolic dish antenna. Some of the buildings associated with the station still survive, albeit as ruins. The base of what was the guard picket post can be seen here in the foreground at the entrance to the site.
