In 1966, the nuclear weapons storage facility was put up for sale, and now forms the privately owned Gorse Industrial Estate.

The entrance to the former nuclear weapons store (now Gorse Industrial Estate) can be found on Elveden Road between Barnham village and the A11.

[3] Military facilities had existed at Barnham since the First World War, when tanks were tested at Little Heath and mustard gas was produced at Triangle Plantation.

Both sites were built to store and maintain free-fall nuclear bombs and Barnham was able to supply the bomber squadrons at Honington, Marham, Watton, Wyton, Upwood and Bassingbourn.

Domestic accommodation will be relocated to RAF Honington, with access to Barnham Training Area maintained.

[9] The site was built specifically to store and maintain free-fall nuclear bombs, such as Blue Danube.

[6] In addition to the storage buildings, the site consisted of a number of other buildings including a fire station, RAF Police flight, administration block, mess block, mechanical transport section, kennels and workshops.

The perimeter of the site was protected by a double system of chain-link fencing and an inner concrete-panel wall; all of which were topped with barbed wire.
