Help Preserve the World’s First Operational Radar Station The Transmitter Block at Bawdsey was part of the world’s first operational radar station. Radar played a vital role in the Battle of Britain and was the starting point for many inventions that have changed the world. Bawdsey Radar is currently raising funds to help preserve this little known building and its heritage. The project has received Heritage Lottery Funding to investigate the work needing to be undertaken to save the Transmitter Block and to develop within it an exhibition and activities that will make it a heritage attraction that is vibrant and fun and worthy of its enormous significance. A second stage application is about to be submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the majority of the £1.4 million required to undertake this work but Bawdsey Radar needs to raise £300,000 from other sources to secure it. The project will: Restore and conserve the Transmitter Block, an historic 2* building of international significance, which is currently on the national English Heritage "at risk” register Provide a new thought provoking exhibition that will tell the story of radar and the people and events that not only saved a nation from invasion but changed the course of history. Increase opening times and make the Block a fantastic place to visit for the whole family. Provide appropriate facilities like modern toilets and car parking Develop educational opportunities and activities for schools, community groups etc . Provide a fitting tribute to all those men and women who worked so hard for the safety and security of us all.
