The OB was situated beneath a green house in the grounds of The Grange at Cottingham. The entrance was through the boiler house and accessed by moving aside a pile of coke.
Mrs Susan Pace, the daughter of Auxilier Leonard Wollas, told how at one time the whole Patrol nearly died from fumes from the boiler house and it was only that Auxilier John Lindsay, a GP who was out on a call, returned to find the whole Patrol on the verge of death that they were saved.
The Grange was demolished to make way for Cottingham High School development.
