RAF College Cranwell - a photo on Flickriver

            Prior to the construction of the neo-classical College Hall, training took place in old naval huts. In the 1920s Sir Samuel Hoare (later Lord Templewood) battled for a substantial College building. Architect's plans were drawn up in 1929 for the present-day College. After some disagreement between Hoare and architect James West, the building plans incorporated design aspects of Christopher Wren's Royal Hospital at Chelsea. In September 1933 the building was completed; it was built of rustic and moulded brick. Its frontage was 800 feet (240 m).

In front of the Hall, orange gravel paths lead around a roughly circular grass area ("The Orange") toward the parade ground.

The building has been used for RAF officer training since HRH the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) officially opened it in October 1934.
