In 1935, the Fire Offices' Committee (an association of fire insurance companies) set up their testing station on this site, close to the gas works and to the goods yard, where test specimens could be delivered. This station developed into the Fire Research Station.

The plane seems to be directly above the entrances to the tunnels which run under Woodcock Hill. The view is looking north.
