Lubricant and Inflammable Store. Built for the storage of lubricant oils, paint and other inflammable liquids.
This is an 18 foot span, 4.5-bay, temporary brick hut. It originally had a timber framed roof supporting corrugated asbestos sheeting, but the timber trusses may have been replaced with steel trusses.
The building is in very good condition and retains most of its original windows. Double doors have been replaced at one end by a single door. Now used by Exeter Air Training School. Other details: Map 6, Site 229.
