WW2 building on Site 3
Site 3 was one of the accommodation sites of RAF Matlask which was an active airfield during WW2. The structure seen here would seem to have been the entrance porch to an accommodation hut.
RAF Matlask
RAF Matlask became operational in October 1940, serving as a satellite station to RAF Coltishall. The airfield had two grass runways of 1,450 metres (1,600 yards) and 1,190 metres (1,300 yards) length respectively. The station was a place of constant change and home to a large number of units flying a wide range of aircraft, and about 2,500 RAF personnel were stationed here. The aerodrome was closed in October 1945. See also: Link
