[Four Types]

Seen this?

What suitable house name would you give your grand designs creation?


With the little amount of land available you could build a small golf course and call it -


'3 Greens'.....!!


Over to you...

[eastern wiseguy]

A bit like myself...."Dunvectrin"

[Prangster]

Seem to recall a bomber command poem mentioning 'My Friend Silksheen' seems a good a name as any

[chevvron]

That's a pretty substantial tower and of a non-standard design. Obviously it was built to house more than just 'flying control' but what I wonder?

Not an anorak by any means but that Tower is indeed unique, It fascinated me when I was in my teens as we lived close by and my Uncle worked on the pig farm so access was easy.

What is known is that it was of local design and built in three stages, what the extra offices were used for remains a mystery, the obvious choice would be Operations but Wigsley had a separate Operations block.

The real anoraks have a thread running on the tower, which includes plans etc here :-

Wigsley (http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?1518-Wigsley)

A name? If the Pig farm is still up and running and smelly as ever :-

"Smellsville"

Because it will.

[Surplus]

How about 'Piggy-Wigsley' for a name, hope there's a few gas masks left around the place, you'll need them.
Funnily enough, the estate agent doesn't have photos like these on the listing:

The only tower I know of which is similar was the old one at Gravesend which probably doesn't exist any more.

As an ex Controller, 'two ears one mouth'.

[ORAC]

Name?

"Three Greens Landing"

[Basil]

'The Shed' and build a new house as far from the pigs as possible.

Or, possibly, fit it out as a nostalgic nightclub for politicians :E

[Shackman]

There is/was a three story control tower at Ollerton (HMS Godwit) just south of Ternhill. It has also been converted into a private house, although I understand the reinforced concrete parts caused a few problems!

[brokenlink]

"Chops away"?


Sorreeee....

Hat, coat etc

[nacluv]

The difference between HMS Godwit/Hinstock and this place is that Godwit is in a decent location.

This really isn't - both from a neighbour perspective (as already pointed out) and from an isolation perspective, i.e. Tony Martin-grade isolated.

No thanks.

It's pretty obvious, from the smelly neighbours, to the hauntings history, that a good name for the building, from the rapid onset of dismay by the new owner, would be, "DUNMEMUNNY"!

Looks like they are kept in there side by hay bails.

If you're retired, then "West Drayton".

If still employed, "Swanwick"

[ShotOne]

"What name would you give it..?" Depends whether you're in the habit of naming things...house, car, bicycle, private parts..

[Basil]

Tony Martin-grade isolated.
And perhaps likely to be visited by the same sort of people :*
