Second World War air raid wardens post on the west side of Pelham Road at a house called Mayfield. It may have originated in 1939, as part of the incident reporting chain for coordinating the emergency services in the event of injury or damage resulting from an air raid. It was also a place from which patrolling wardens enforced blackout restrictions. However, its design, form and relationship with Mayfield are unknown. It would have been decommissioned by the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945, its various elements being removed by 1946.
