Former WW2 Control tower for sale. What house name would you give it?
 
Seen this?


Former World War Two RAF Control Tower near Lincoln put on the market - The Lincolnite


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...

WW2 Control Tower
 
Seem to recall a bomber command poem mentioning 'My Friend Silksheen' seems a good a name as any

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

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

"Smellsville"

Because it will.

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:
