07/04/2000 The St. Juliot Auxiliary Unit had two Operational Bases. This one was built by Royal Engineers in a remote Location in a small disused quarry in woodland near Anderton Ford, about half a mile SW of Tresparrett. It was built above ground by the side of a stream and was constructed from green painted sheet metal.
This OB was discovered by local children who followed the soldiers to the Location when it was being built. As a consequence, a second OB was built in Helsett Wood, about half a mile to the SE. The Location of this OB is only approximate and its surviving condition is unknown (UORN 12535).
Nothing remains today at the site of the first OB. (Research and assistance by Mrs. Audrey Aylmer - Bude Old Cornwall Society).
