Field Visit (26 March 2019)
Nothing can now be seen of this building which was introduced as part of the infrastructure of the battery by the Admiralty in World War I. It stood 5m E of the Works Department Store (NH86NW 22.6), immediately SE of the road leading to Site No.2 (NH86NW 9.48) and W of the security surrounding Site No.1 (NH86NW 9.51). It was rectangular on plan and measured about 8m from NNW to SSE by 3.5m transversely. A plan in the Fort Record Book held by the National Archives at Kew (WO78/5192-16/19) identifies it as a ‘Garage’, while a sketch map of the battery entitled ‘Telephone Circuits’ (ADM 7/942), dated 7 May 1919, labels it a ‘Lorry Shed’.
