Hi everyone
 
Does anyone know the old address of Hanging Heaton Army Camp please?  (I understand it's now  a housing estate).

If you look at the Hanging Heaton Golf Club history there is information. Part of the golf course was requisitioned during the war for anti aircraft batteries covering the approach to Leeds.

Perhaps contact the Club Secretary for information as part of the structures are evidently still visible.

Would this be the army camp, at the end of Grasmere Road, on the 1956 map at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=425259,422775
