World War II Bofors gun tower and ancillary building, Ruislip HA4 - Hillingdon
1940s reinforced concrete gun tower platform with red brick infill walls and external access stair. The associated ancillary building is also brick with a flat reinforced concrete roof. It has previously been used as storage for the adjacent football ground. The structure is not weathertight, and the openings and rear roof require securing and repair. There is severe vegetation growth on the ancillary building.
