Don't know anything about this site.

its an interesting place. been about 8 times now!

heres some history off my site if anyones interested!:

From what i understand they opened during the late 60's/ early 70's, and it was built to protect the nearby Ministry of Defence research buildings and the Chertsey tank testing track.

some info from the council:

1) This has a history of use as a testing site by the MOD and any security measures were in place to provide controlled access for that purpose, not for the protection of the people housed on the site.

This site was used by the Army Technical Support Agency and then the Defence Logistics Organisation.

Building 216 was originally a headquarters for Military Policemen, clerks and then for personnel of the Defence Logistics Organisation.

Building 217 was staff accommodation with males on the ground floor and females on the first floor

Building 218 was staff accommodation for Senior NCO'S, Sergeants and other ranks with dining room, bar and mess

Building 219B was the NAAFI with kitchens, bar and recreational rooms.

Building 220 was the security building at the entrance

There is a security fence around the whole site and it has a separate vehicular access with its own security hut at its entrance. The security fencing was there to protect the buildings and personnel onthis site.

2) It has never been a formal barracks housing an Army unit with security provided by the Army unit with guard duties performed by the Army unit.

When some Officers have visited the site security was provided by armed military personnel

The barracks closed in early 2000's and now sits derelict. Its due to be turned into an immigration hostel.

Interesting place! Is the test track 'wander around'able as well? :)

Ah, I thought I recognised the name! I remember coming across the testing track on one of the film locations sites. Very interesting set of places around there.
Cheers for the info on that Markr. :)
