The bunker was built in 1938 - 1939 at what was Kenton Quarry, and under the Dowding System of air defence became the headquarters of No 13 Group Fighter Command, which stretched from Humberside to The north of Scotland, including Northern Ireland.
Commanded by Air Vice-Marshal Richard Saul, the bunker was a typical MOD design of the time, with everything centred around a one storey high operations room complete with curved glass observation posts above a plotting table. There was also a plant room that enabled the circulating air to be filtered, and indeed the ventilation system is still intact.
The bunkers' day in history came on the 15th August 1940 when around midday the controller sitting high above the plotting table realised that the north east coast was under attack by a calvacade of German fighter bombers from Luftflotte 5. Scrambling fighters from sector airfields around the North east and further afield, the Germans were sufficiently repulsed and never mounted a daylight attack again over the north east.

if you have any old leather that needs repair do give me a call on 01584 873633 as I have access to authentic materials. My tools are almost all pre-war (my industrial sewing machine was made in the 1930s to sew Sam Browne belts) so work will match the original as it should. I can also make new but completely ‘authentic’ copies of any original leatherwork you may find. I’m happy to have a look and quote before doing any work so there are never any surprises! You never know, you might need me one day…
