Radio Station

Work began on the radio station in 1938 and was completed by 1942. It housed MUSA (Multiple Unit Steerable Antenna). This system was one of the most complex ever built and provided invaluable service between 1940s-1960s.

This station was an incredibly important national strategic installation during the second world war and nearby there was also the site of an Admiralty Direction Finding Station. Its importance as a national Post Office site remained until it's closure in 1963. The closure of the site being bought about by obsolescence of fixed point HF telephony by the new satellite communication technology and the emerging fibre optic technologies.

All that remains of the station is the basement of the apparatus building and the generator room with its later added second storey.
