Point of Ayre (not Ayr). A few remains of the Bride Chain Home radar station can be made out to the left of centre, particularly the distinctive arrangement of four pale concrete pads in a square which supported the legs of the two 240-foot high timber lattice towers, between which the receiver aerials were slung. The radar station was dismantled in 1944 and cleared after the end of WW2, though some bunkers still survive and the accommodation block at the roadside in the bottom of the picture is today a private dwelling. |
