Monument record TR 36 NE 294 - Coastal Defence/chain Home Low Station M6
Summary
The site of a Coastal Defence/Chain Home Low (CD/CHL) radar station at Ramsgate. It was constructed in spring 1941 by the British Army to detect approaching ships and aircraft during the Second World War. CD/CHL sites comprised a brick or concrete operations block with an aerial gantry mounted on the roof and a separate standby set house for the reserve power. Staff were billeted where possible, but some stations had a small layout of domestic hutting situated within one mile of the site. Aerial photography from 1991 shows that the station has been removed and the site is now a heavily-built up area.
