This window is in one of the old barrage balloon sheds at Pucklechurch. Inside, the balloon were stored and repaired, along with the staff training. Having been decommissioned in 1945 and the military finally moving out in the 1960s, it became an industrial unit. See ST6975 : Number 11 Balloon Centre hangar for more.
