    That building near the trig point is not WWII, it was built in 1918, please do not perpetuate myths! (it was ruined by the Canadians in WWII)
    Please contact me if you want the true facts that I determined in 2010. Publication due in 2018.

      ​@@paulhunter123 The WW1 building at 7.32 was used for testing detonators. The Dyke itself, due to its depth was used to test the bombs dropped from aircraft. A system of cables was installed across the Dyke with rail tracks each side along which they were moved. There was a munitions building somewhere between the two sites near the hotel.
