In the early days of the Second World War this site also saw secret radar developments for the army and some twenty years later much of the early research on night vision was also done here. The Establishment was actively involved in the research into optical fibres for communication purposes - which have since produced profound benefits for world-wide telephone systems. SRDE finally moved to Malvern in Worcestershire in 1980 and joined forces with the Royal Radar Establishment."
