Ministry of Supply Factory, Valley, Rhydymwyn: Danger Area - Western Bank lookout post (1)
There were originally three lookout posts on the Western Bank that could overlook the whole of the factory, the central one of these having since been demolished. On receipt of a 'yellow' air raid warning, patrolmen would proceed to these buildings where they would keep a fire watch over their part of the site, in this instance from this building overlooking the Danger Area. Each post would have been in direct communication with a specially protected central control room by telephone. Remains of a telephone pole can be seen here on the roof of this building.
