RAF Hurn - former WW2 Nurses Quarters (1)
Probably the last remaining domestic building on one of the ten accommodation sites that were dispersed around the former wartime airfield of RAF Hurn. During the Second World War this was the sleeping quarters for WAAF nursing personnel who worked at the nearby RAF hospital and the Station Sick Quarters, where Milden Construction is now. I'm not sure of the building's current status, but the site was recently up for sale by auction and could be demolished, as planning permission has been granted to build a bungalow in its place. Its former occupant of 70 years was a 96 year old RAF veteran who had rented the property immediately after the war for his family when he was unable to secure a council house.
