I grew up in South Shields, and we always called the enclosed hedged square to the rear of the radar station, 'The Fort', but we never knew why.

Excellent and informative as expected, remember if you ever need us to portray any of your research just give us a shout ;-)
Keep up the good work, Rab from Earl of Loudoun's Regiment
