The photo is taken from the now-civilian area of Rampton Drift through the fence that clearly cuts across one of the old roads in the barracks. The buildings beyond were then used as a secure immigration detention centre. The area will, probably, one day, be developed as the new town of Northstowe. This has been the case for almost four years, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-11741466
