RAF Shepherds Grove
Where? Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Comments 53. Posted 12 August 2006.
RAF Shepherds Grove is located on the outskirts of the sleepy Suffolk village of Stanton. It was built during WW2 as an airfield for bombers. During the Cold War in the 1950's the USAF took over and based jet fighters there. When the jet fighters left, part of the base was used as a launch site for Thor nuclear missles.
The site closed in 1966 and some of the base is now an industrial estate.
April 2007 update - The control tower, fire station and industrial units have now been flattened.
