Located in the hamlet of Ibsley itself, this appears to have been the largest of the two communal sites, although compared to the other at South Gorley, little of it remains today apart from the platforms of several different buildings seen here in this view, together with several blast shelters for personnel. The site plan lists a tailors, barbers, and a shoemakers shop, a grocery and local produce store, a gymnasium, an airmens dining room, accommodation and ablutions, sergeants and officers messes and their ablutions, medical centre, and many other facilities too numerous to mention.
