East East Camp (Engineering School)<br />
<strong>The</strong> hutted domestic site, known as East Camp was planned and built in 1941 and extended<br />
further south during 1943. Buildings were originally built with brick walls and timber trusses, while<br />
those added in 1943 were of prefabricated MoW (concrete) standard hutting (18ft 6in span, 60ft<br />
long huts to drawing number 5427/42). Post-war the camp ceased to be used as a quarters site,<br />
and became the Engineering School. Generally all buildings north of Implacable Road date from<br />
1941 while most buildings south of it were constructed c.1943.<br />
