Overview
G Block was a single storey complex of five spurs to the west, and a two storey complex of three spurs arranged in a U-shaped formation to the east.
During the war it dealt with Traffic Analysis & deception operations. After the war it was Post Office training, and later British Telecom.
G Block is within the Conservation Area, but outside of the Trust's Core Area.

A 'block' is a news segment, each one being separated by commercials (adverts). The top news stories are contained in the 'A-Block', so by default, 'G-Block' contains the less newsworthy stories!
