Monument record TR 35 NW 661 - Haig Camp, Richborough Port

Summary

A WWI camp site, part of Richborough Port, a major WWI port serving allied troops on the Western Front. The site appears to have been reused for military purposes in WWII. Although parts of the site were extensively redeveloped in the early 21st century, there appear to be some buildings surviving in commercial use within the industrial estate that now occupies the southern end of the site.
