  • World War II Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery Gunsite Bolton-on-Dearne, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. The World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft HAA gunsite known as Station H17 is a well- preserved example of an early to mid-World War II gunsite. The site retains the functional core of the station, four gun emplacements, gun holdfasts, a command post, a Nissen magazine and part of the service track. The gun emplacement has lay unused for more than 50 years but played a vital role in the lives of Bolton people during 1943 and 1944. Four anti-aircraft guns, a command centre and a battery base were installed in what were formerly farmer`s fields, as part of the Sheffield Defence System following the Blitz of 1940/41 The Bolton Ack-Ack camp as it became known, housed four 3.7-inch anti-aircraft guns that served as one of eight battery`s defending Sheffield`s munitions haven - but it never fired a shot. Two hundred and fifty men and women worked the battery during the months it was manned.
