there are additional buildings around the main house – mainly nissan huts for the
staff of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, whose HQ was Kemnal
Manor since 1939. There is also the new ‘bunker’, one of four built in the London
area as part of the Civil Defence network, clearly seen by South Lodge. To the west
of this northern end of Kemnal Road, there are new houses and estates, a new
footpath between Slades Drive and Kemnal Manor lodge, and just to the bottom
left a reference to the Scout Hut tucked away off the footpath between Kemnal Road
and Green Lane.
