The Leeds CEGB Grid Control Centre was a blast-proof concrete bunker that housed emergency controls for the north-eastern region's electricity grid. It was built in 1953 by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) as one of eight such emergency controls in similarly remote areas to provide alternative controls for the electrical grid in case of attack on the main control centres.
The bunker was situated next to other emergency controls, including the PR2 Repeater Station, for telecommunications, and 'RAF Rothwell Haigh', which were offices next to the repeater station.
