Gunsite Camp. WW2 army camp serving a Heavy Anti-Aircraft battery. After the war served as a domestic site for various London based army units including the Royal Engineers Postal Services Branch. Now the site of the Linford Christie Stadium. Wormwood Scrubs has a long association with the military, having been acquired in 1878 as cavalry exercise and training grounds. I believe that the land is still owned by the MoD.

What I find interesting in this photo are the allotments that cover half of Wormholt Park.The site of Christopher Wren and Hammersmith County Schools are also allotments.The Church hall can be seen at the Bloemfontein Road end of Ellerslie Road too.Another interesting thing in this image to note is the repair work to Blaxland House,that suffered damage from a "doodlebug" in wartime.
