GV II

"Type A" Receiver Block. Built 1938. Brick construction to flat reinforced-concrete roof enclosed by 5ft 6in (1.7m) wall containing flint shingle to disperse blast. Rectangular plan building, with bricked-up windows, is surrounded by concrete blast walls banked with earth. INTERIOR: retains gas filtration plant and main switchgear. Stenigot was one of 20 sites along the east coast of Britain which had been chosen as "Advanced" stations by September 1937. The transmitter (qv) and receiver blocks and towers - of which the transmitter tower (qv) is the most complete on any of the Chain Home radar stations - had been completed by 1939. The transmission and receiving of radio waves were essential functions of radio direction finding equipment (radar) and the operation of both were based in buildings surrounded by blast walls for defence against air attack. "Type A" sites were modelled on the layouts established at Bawdsey Experimental Station. (Measured drawings and description in RCHME report, 1997)
