More information : An English Heritage Report produced in May 2003 identified the power house ("Building 82") as one of those at RAF Bicester technical site which could possibly be included in a future potential conservation area rather than be considered for Listed Building status. The report states that the electrical power house was built in 1926, and is situated close to the water tower at the site. (1)
