I can't begin to explain what this site was for. Wikipedia says the following...

The Rudloe Site was formerly RAF Rudloe Manor, which was established during the Second World War as a non-flying station for administrative and command & control purposes. It was home to HQ Number 10 Fighter Group, RAF Regional Command, Headquarters RAF Police & Security Services, No 1 Signals Unit, Controller Defence Communications Network and 1001 Signals Unit. By 1998 it had become mostly administrative, housing the RAF Provost and Security Services, which dealt with security and criminal investigation services, the Defence Communication Services Agency, while the detachment of 1001 Signals Unit of the RAF remained. It closed as an operational site in about 2000.

The base has two main buildings - a manor house and a purpose-built operations building. There are several smaller, newer buildings scattered around the site too.

The manor house looked lovely from the outside but was sadly inaccessible. It is thought that this was used as accomodation for the officers.



A short distance away from the manor house is the operations block.





The block housed two operations rooms - although one has been turned into a squash court in recent years.







The operations block has deteriorated pretty badly since closure. Wires have been stripped out and windows have been smashed up. In some places, moss is growing in the corridors.







There are other, modern buildings on site - didn't have time to visit them though. These may be covered on a re-visit sometime...
