Thorpe Park was an RAF barracks 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-east from RAF Woodhall Spa on the B1192 road, and in the civil parish of Tattershall Thorpe. Built in 1940 during the Second World War, the site included messes, dining halls, a NAAFI building, ration store, latrines and showers. The site closed in the 1960s.[1]
The remaining buildings are now preserved as the Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre that commemorates RAF and RAF Woodhall Spa history, as well as civilian life in Lincolnshire in the 1940s.
