 Over the ensuing years some of the more substantial buildings were upgraded and finally all the remaining buildings were sold individually by means of a public auction held in the former Sergeants Mess building.The site was eventually redeveloped into a private trading estate and residential area with the former estates of officers' and other ranks' married quarters becoming what is now the new civil parish and village of Hemswell Cliff.The wartime station headquarters building still stands on the new trading estate and is called "Gibson House".
