Brown's Quarry is a small quarry to the north of Tunnel Quarry. In 1940 it was converted, at great expense, into a secure underground Command Centre for No 10 Group, RAF Rudloe Manor.

The Command Centre fell into disuse soon after the war and the control room remained unchanged until the mid 1980s when it was altered for the Controller, Defence Communications. It is now derelict and abandoned.

RAF Rudloe Manor

No 10 Group Fighter Command Operations Room

The walls of the operations room were finished in a special paint
scheme, designed not to distract the girls operating the plotting
table. It consisted of Goblin Green graduating slowly upwards into
Primrose Yellow.
