Full Description
The main mess halls and kitchen complex is situated about 35m to the NE of the gas decontamination building (NH87NE 34.03). Built of brick and concrete with steel 'A' frames to support the roof, the complex consists of two wings forming the mess halls and a central kitchen area. The kitchen area still retains cooking ranges and much of the venting.
