	From a Google search it appears that the camp was actually at Langdon Hills just south of Laindon. The ATS was just one of the units that used the camp. There is a little bit of information about it here:- https://www.laindonhistory.org.uk/content/through-the-decades/the_war_years/ww_ii/langdon_hills_second_world_war_army_camp Kath. x
