Cold War AA Gun Emplacements
Just outside Harlow on the Herts/Essex border sits this Anti Aircraft gun emplacement, this was the second trip out this weekend with the kids and their Grandad
The site consists of four 3.7 inch AA gun emplacements each with ammunition recesses and integral shelters.
Sat just back from the AA guns was the Generator block and several hundred yards further down the concrete road sits the Operations Block
The site was built in the early1950's and ended it's life in 1958 when jet aircraft and surface to air missiles took over their role.
3.7 Anti Aircraft Guns
The site. Top right are the four AA gun emplacements, follow the road to the top left
and you find the Generator Block and further on around the corner is the Operations Block

As usual, thanks for taking the time
