Motor transport sheds. 1917, for the Royal Flying Corps. Rendered brick with sheet metal roofs, boarded under. Each range of 13 bays long and rectangular plan with workshops in rear outshut. Each bay divided by a brick pier, and timber internal trusses braced to side walls by raking side struts.

These motor transport stores and garages form part of one of the most complete hangar groupings of the First World War period, of significance in both a British and European context. It is included for this reason, there being also buildings of this type at Duxford and Old Sarum.
