Just to add my pennys worth. Upwood did have a tripple span GS shed like this one plus a single-span ARS shed. The doors were alighed east and west. If the photo is taken looking west, the single-span shed would be hidden from view by the tripple shed. If its looking east you would see the single shed and the tech buildings would be behind you (though from that distance in the pic you might be amongst them). There were never any HP sheds at Upwood and the shed towards the right looks like one to me in which case it could be Hawkinge (from memory but needs checking).

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Not sure about it being Hawkinge. The hangars were close to the road at Hawkinge and if this is an inter-war photo there would have been at least another set of hangars in view plus the buildings that would have been near the road.

I thought the other building was a hut but now NP has sown the seed I can see it could be an aeroplane shed, or not.

Can that part of the phot be enlarged?

UPDATE

Could this be the answer or is this where the question came from?

It isn't where I got the photo from, it was one given to me for the Archive at Upwood 10 days ago. Seems to answer the question that it is Upwood

Yes ignore Hawkinge, I have a WW1 (1918) plan of Upwood and there is NOT a HP Shed
