Full Description

A wartime storehouse was noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. Concrete foundations of two rectangular buildings were in the modern sawmill site of the Evanton airfield B camp, to the west of the Fire Station. On wartime plans they were listed as Laundries. The 1946 aerial photographs and fragmentary wall remains in one corner show that they were nissen huts. <1>
