Possible cold store set up by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War, for strategic stockpiling of foods, established in 1942. The store was identical in design to those in other areas, and was adjacent to a main road and main railway line, from which a siding once looped to the facility. The presence of what was possibly a guard hut at the site entrance and a Nissen/Romney-type hut adjacent to the main building supports the theory. Other details: Photographs.
