Not sure if airfield related. Unusual looking for a watch/control tower?

Looks like a tower for a firing/bombing range; there appears to be a white ensign on the mast so Navy but I have no idea what the other larger flag is for.

Perhaps a RN signals training establishment WW1?

the seems to be a wire fence around the building, to keep livestock out possibly?

That looks far too elaborate for a bombing range tower. I wonder if it is overseas, possibly a cold area judging by the chimney stack? The land looks quite barren as well. Also is that a small searchlight on the pedestal on the balcony?

The comments from the Royal Navy Research Archive Forum.

"Can you identify where this photo was taken?

The only clue we have is the white ensign flying from the yard, that and it is a very desolate landscape. The design of the control tower also seems a little odd."

Could be a signal lamp like they (used to) use on ships.
