Location

Description

The site is a Scheduled Monument, a WW2 bombing decoy shelter in the west of the North York Moors National Park. It was originally a 'Starfish' control building for artificial fires on the adjacent moorland, designed to distract enemy bombers aimed at Teesside into dropping their payloads in the wrong area, but has suffered from general degradation, water ingress and vandalism in recent years. For more historic background see the site listing entry at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1020041. The site is currently used by Cleveland and Darlington Astronomical Society to store equipment. The site requires historic brickwork and pointing repairs, RWG and concrete roofing, and pinning of blast walls, all detailed in attached spec documents. PLEASE NOTE WORKS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE END OF MARCH 2021.
