The site is now used for Airsoft on weekendsIn 1943, a transit camp for USA anti-aircraft units was constructed on the East side of the Buxton Road. In 1945-6 it was taken over by Polish troops from Italy. After the war, it became a Polish resettlement camp. Then in 1964, the residents were settled in purpose built accommodation half a mile North from the original site. In 1983, the camp opened as the Anzio site and became a training centre for both the Regular and Territorial Army.It closed during 2005-2006
