This is Battery Townsley's former plotting and switchboard room (PSR), the heart of the battery. In this command bunker, information from the spotter posts located on the coast as well as information about targets would be phoned in here so those inside could produce the coordinates needed for the guns to hit their targets. Things such as the Coriolis Effect, wind speed, target speed/bearing, and weather were taken into account for these calculations. Due to asbestos, the PSR is closed to the public.
