WWII Cheshire, RAF Calveley, near Nantwich - Watch Office (1)
- The airfield at RAF Calveley was built in 1941-42 with three concrete runways, one of a number intended to boost the fighter defence of Merseyside. By the time of its completion, the need for this defence in the northwest had declined, and so instead the airfield became a Relief Landing Ground (RLG) for RAF Ternhill's No. 5 Service Training Flying School based in Shropshire. After the war the airfield reverted back to farmland, with another area of it to the east set aside for industrial use. This building is the original airfield control tower or watch office, and is now the only surviving one dating from the Second World War in the whole of Cheshire. Update: I understand from various websites that this control tower the last surviving WW2 tower in the whole of Cheshire, was demolished in 2019 along with other buildings, to allow for the further expansion of the adjacent industrial estate.
