Wartime building on the B940 I thought this might be a relic of a wartime aerodrome, but I see from Jim Allan's caption that it was built in connection with a radar installation. The farmer on whose land its stands has toyed with the idea of converting it to a roadside farmshop, but hasn't gone ahead yet.
