Runway, Ford Aerodrome
Originally opened in 1917 constructed by German POWs but closed by 1920. Between the wars it was home to a number of different aeronautical companies before being requesitioned by the RAF in 1939 and by the navy in 1945 who renamed it HMS Peregrine. They moved out in 1958 and for a time the airfield was used privately, one occupation being the construction of replica aircraft for the film industry, until finally being closed in 1980. The east-west runway has been used as the site of a big Sunday market since 1988 though it is now being threatened with plans to construct a 5000 house eco-village.

Service Road, Ford Aerodrome
Linking Yapton Road, the B2233, with the runways and taxi roads. The east-west runway extended across the road which necessitated its closure between 1939 and 1958, traffic from south was diverted via Horsemere Green Lane whilst that from the north found itself in a dead end. This also an alternative access point for the Sunday market though the main entrance is at the other end of the runway.
