Default Herstmonceux Query

I would be interested to know if anyone has knowledge as to the
location of Herstmonceux AWS Weather Station or know anything about
its history? I visited the Astronomy festival held within the grounds
of the science centre today and took a walk around the grounds,
Nothing in site around the castle and the 'old' science buildings, now
apparently used for student accomdation also led to no signs of any
met equipment. I know they use the autosonde systerm so that is
probably tucked away or on a rooftop. I even looked at Google maps,
bearing in mind the resolution, to see if anything looked like a met
enclosure but still no signs. My next port of call will the be MO
archive, I'm sure thay must have a photo of the site?
