Cresswell radar station

Cresswell radar site was known to be poorly located as it did not have enough of a significant elevation above sea level to provide sufficient warning of approaching aircraft.At the time of the Munich crisis in October 1938, Britain had eleven radar sites, which were mostly located on the eastern coast.Staff for the CHEL site at Cresswell were billeted in nearby Lynemouth, as opposed to the normal function of being housed in Nissen huts on-site.[11] Like other radar stations operated by the RAF during the Second World War, details of its exact closure are unknown.The 60 Group "Radar Bulletin" magazine from March 1945 lists the station as still being operational at the date of publication.
