Originally the site was known as Beatty Hall accommodation camp serving the Cold Meece munitions factory. The then GPO opened a training school after the war on the 80 acre site. GPO became British Telecom in 1984 and it remained a dedicated British Telecom training centre until the summer of 2010 when it was a commercial conference and training centre with over 40 event spaces and 338 bedrooms. The centre is now privately owned.
