This is a work in progress. It has been prepared for a survey, with a view to getting every building on the Camp occupied or “into use” in one form or another. Click on any building and return to this page using the browser’s “back” button.
Round up
Rentable: definition in this context “capable of independently supporting electricity and water charges”

5 building including Officers Mess and 4 rentable and 1 cdt – Garage. Chapel excluded.
Compound C
8 rentable and 6 cdt or community used
Compound D
15 rentable and 7 cdt or community used
This makes a total of 27 buildings that could be brought into use and contribute to electricity and water costs, and 14 buildings where these services could pay their way by enhancing community use of the Camp
