Worth Matravers (Renscombe Down) |
The area around the
Dorset village of Worth Matravers was home to a number of radar
units, the main one being called Renscombe Down, it consisted of a
Chain Home (CH) station with two 240ft. wooden masts (station 12) on 'A-Site' and
a Chain Home Low (CHL) station on the cliff top (Station 12A). During the early
part of the war these stations were involved in development work
under the auspices of the Telecommunications Establishment. This
Establishment had been moved to Worth Matravers in May 1940 after
firstly being evacuated to Dundee from its original location at
Bawdsey Manor in Suffolk, where it was considered to too at risk
from German attacks. Aircraft, for calibration duties were
initially operated from Christchurch until facilities at Hurn became
available.
As the sites around
Worth Matravers expanded they began to attract enemy attention and
an alternative location was sought, resulting in a moved to Malvern
in May 1942. The stations at Renscombe Down continued operation
after the radar scientists left and the site was also used to
assembly and training a number of radar and signals unit prior to
their dispatch overseas. After the war, the sites were used by the
RAF as a training station. |
