Former WW2 Control tower for sale. What house name would you give it?
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
A name? If the Pig farm is still up and running and smelly as ever :-
"Smellsville"
Because it will.

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!

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"!
