Summary
Two possibly conjoined buildings are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. Given their proximity to military structures in the area, they are likely to be related to WWII activity around Baxworthy, and were demolished before 1959. The site of the buildings is under the new A39 road.

Two buildings are visible on aerial photographs dating to 1946, one rectangular building approximately 6.5 metres long by 3.5 metres wide, and another square building 3.5 by 3.5 metres is possibly linked to it. Given their proximity to military structures in the area, they are likely to be related to WWII activity around Baxworthy, and were demolished before 1959 when a new road is visible on aerial photographs on the site of the former buildings.
