Full Description

Married quarters for the Hack Green Rotor site [CSMR: 2943/1/0] (1). This was the location of at least some of the accommodation for the Rotor site before the purpose built accommodation was finished at SJ654496 (CSMR: 2943/1/2). According to (2) it was common for the accommodation for rotor sites to be some distance from the site. It may be that accommodation was dispersed until the purpose built estate at SJ654496 [CSMR: 2943/1/2] was finished, and that this was a central point.
