The houses of Lower Compton were once housing the airmen of RAF Compton Bassett. After the station closed in the 1960s, the housing around the camp continued to be used by RAF staff working at RAF Lyneham and other nearby RAF stations. In the 1980s the housing was used for United States Air Force personnel stationed at airfields such as RAF Fairford and RAF Greenham Common. The housing was later sold to private buyers.
