Mystery building in Suffolk Nov 12

[Andymacg]

Somewhere along the A14 close to Felixstowe is a wood, now several times over the past month ive caught,site of a building in the wood .So now most of leaves had fallen and I had time to stop and get some pics and have a mooch round'.
Now what the building was for is a mystery to me although I'm guesssing it may be military going by the design, but I am possibly wrong anyway . so on with the pics

oh yes and it some of the strangest floors Ive ever seen

Now I was pleasently surprised to find this in this part of the building

what it was for I havent a clue but I'm amazed that it hasnt been nicked by the pikeys

looks like some sort of power distribution thing ?

 

[mookster]

definitely looks like some sort of electrical substation type building

WW2 era generator set and power distribution building. I have no idea what for, a location would be handy.

I can't find anything relating to it, but looking on google earth there are a lot of heavy earthworks around there that suggest something quite significant. It definitely looks WW2 era to me though or 1950s at the latest.

Wheeee I get there eventually, it's an old GCI radar site.

Further along the track on the photo there seems to be a round feature possibly a large coastal artilery emplacement?

No, it's 5 miles inland. It's all the radar site. D looped roads are pretty common to a lot of military sites, much better than turning circles.

cheers folks so I was right in my guess of it being a military building design

Trimley does have a cold war era anti-aircraft gun site, but that's the other side of the A14. On private land with many discouraging signs. You can see parts including the generator and stores blocks from a distance but to be honest Google aerial gives the best view.
