<1> C S Dobinson, 2000, Twentieth Century Fortifications in England: Supporting paper AA/1; Searchlight Sites in WWII (Report). SCH4458.

Searchlight battery near Ivy Farm. Manned by 352 Company of 38 (The King's Regiment) AA Battalion RE. It was in Section 10, Number 41. 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.
