Hadrian's Camp was a military installation on the line of Hadrian's Wall at Houghton in Cumbria, England.
History
The camp was established, in 1939, as a war-time training facility for the Royal Artillery during the Second World War.[1] After the war the camp was used as a training facility for the Royal Armoured Corps.[2] It became the Army Apprentices School for the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in 1959 and was re-designated the Army Apprentices College in 1966.[3] After all REME apprentice training was transferred to Arborfield Garrison,[4] the college at Hadrian's Camp closed in 1969.[5] During the 1970s part of the site was converted by Cumbria Constabulary for use as a motor vehicle depot[6] and, in 1988, the remainder of the site was allocated for use by gypsies, travellers and the homeless as "Hadrian's Park".[7] Story Homes was given planning consent to develop the site for residential use as "Eden Gate" in January 2016.[8]
