Hair Bear Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Don't know if anyone can shed light on this. Some years ago now (at least 10), we went out for an afternoon walk with some friends on Hazeley Heath near Hartley Wintney. At one point we came across some low level concrete forms which we were told were part of a WW2 tank proving ground. They are/were best described as on the heath, somewhere north of the shops on the A30 London road but south of the Bramshill police college. Also, there is/was (now going back 25+ years!) a lot of old concrete tracks in the woods on Buckleberry Common in Berkshire. Rumour says there were hidden buildings for ammunition storage in the area. Anyone know anything? Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There is quite a bit on Google. I did a quick search using "Hazeley Heath tank" and "Hazeley Heath ww2" A lot of it is text based, but these two have interesting pictures. Lots more info available if you have your reading head on! http://www.pillbox-study-group.org.uk/tankramppage.htm http://www.hcv.hampshire.org.uk/hcvsites/hazeley.htm So was it a tank ramp, or a cable testing facility? Looks like an interesting site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
