Locally Listed Building: Ancillary Building adjacent to Hooton Hangars, Hooton (LL49)

Ancillary Building adjacent to Hooton Hangars LL49 (Previously LL HN/4) Address: North Road, Hooton Architect: MOD Date: c1915 Description Single storey garage/maintenance buildings for vehicles associated with airfield. Pitched felted roof, brick piers between open fronted bays with internal buttresses, presumably to protect the piers against impact damage. Unusual roof trusses with diagonal bracing to buttresses. Another building in this group has unusual triangular trusses similar in form to a Belfast truss, but without the top “longbow” shape. If the Listed Hangars are to be retained, the ancillary buildings assist in the interpretation of the role of the airfield and are therefore of group value. Condition Poor. Current use Disused at present. Updated November 2006
