Monument record 4142/0/14 - Searchlight Battery in Tilstone Fearnall

Searchlight battery near Priestland. Manned by 352 Company of 38 (The King's Regiment) AA Battalion RE. It was in Section 10, Number 31. It was part of the Liverpool defences and is part of a much larger distribution that covered large areas of Cheshire, some of which are shown as part of this group. However this list is far from exhaustive and should only be considered as an example of searchlight layouts for the war (1).
It is visible as earthworks partially obscured by trees on aerial photos.
