ABSTRACT

In the spring of 1962 considerable work was being undertaken at the Blackpool camp. In particular, as far as this case is concerned, a flat roofed one storey building, which had been a dining hall, was being converted into a billiard hall. On the existing roof were two parallel roof lights just over 100 feet long and eight feet wide, raised from the roof by a side wall or coaming eighteen inches high. The glass in those strips had to be removed and then one strip had to be completely filled in and the other similarly filled in except for some twenty-eight feet at one end which was to be left for some new skylight over some lavatories which were to be constructed below them.
