During the war, the Communal site 2 of RAF Horham, which was an active airfield during WW2, used to be located here and this track led to their latrine bucket emptying platform, the location of which is denoted by the kerb stone beside the concreted road. A bucket emptying platform is a small brick structure meant to assist in the emptying of chemical toilet containers used on many airfield camp sites during WW2 and later. At Horham, the platform was connected to main sewage. Note the 'fork' (in foreground left) in the single width road, which served as a reversing point for the truck carrying the contents of the toilet buckets to the platform for emptying.
