Description


LAVERSTOCK

SU 13 SE PORTWAY
365/2/10009 (South side)
01-DEC-05 Old Sarum Airfield: Workshops immediat
ely to N of central hangar (Hangar 2)

GV II
Workshops. 1918. Painted single-skin brick with internal buttresses; corrugated asbestos-cement roofing on steel trusses.

PLAN: a paired single-storey shed in 13 bays with twin gables at each end, formerly a large open space and now sub-divided. On the S side (facing Hangar No 2, qv) is a 2-bay lean-to with boiler house.

EXTERIOR: 12-pane steel casements where original, some later steel replacements. 3 paired plank doors to S, with a brick stack to 2-bay lean-to projection. Pair of doors to left gable of W elevation. Double and single plank doors to N side. Later C20 flat-roofed porch to E end.

HISTORY: After Duxford in Cambridgeshire and Leuchars in Scotland, Old Sarum retains the most complete group of technical buildings representative of a Training Depot Station of the First World War period. Despite the destruction of one of the original three paired hangars, this is one of the most complete hangar groupings of the period up to 1918 in Britain, uniquely relating to an airfield that has been less altered than any other pre-1918 airfield.
