Chadwell Heath anti-aircraft gun site, Whalebone Lane North (off), Chadwell Heath - Barking and Dagenham
The remains of a World War II anti-aircraft battery, with pits for eight guns in two groups of four, with other structures. The buildings are in an isolated spot and have been subject to vandalism. The former quarry is being restored, including the land levels around the gun site, and when complete there will be a five-year aftercare plan. A feasibility report, with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2015, explored the potential of the site. Discussions between the Local Authority, the Crown Estate and Historic England about the site’s use and maintenance have not progressed.
