 Site Records
Site Name: Truleigh Hill R2 CHEL Rotar Radar Station
TQ224109
Nr. Fulking
West Sussex
Truleigh Hill was a Chain Home Extra Low (CHEL) site built in 1952
to replace the Chain Home Low Radar station built at the site in 1939.
It was a R2 single level operations room serving a single Type 14 radar
system.
The station was decomissioned in 1958 and sold to a private buyer in
1965. Although the bunker is presently unused the site provides a home
for Police, Ambulance and Fire Service communications as well as those
of some private organisations. The site is secure and underground visits
are not permitted..
