Heavy Anti-aircraft Battery at Norley 365m south east of Finger Post Farm is a Second World War anti-aircraft defensive installation located in Cheshire. The battery comprises the physical remains of gun emplacements and associated structures constructed to provide air defence during the 1939–1945 conflict. Such installations were positioned strategically across the English landscape to protect against German air attack, particularly during the intensive bombing campaigns of the middle war years. The site represents the material evidence of Britain's home defence preparations and the widespread militarisation of the civilian landscape during the Second World War.
