RAF Beccles
Ellough Airfield was completed in 1943 and served as a RAF Bomber Command and RAF Coastal Command airfield during the Second World War as RAF Beccles. The airfield was decommissioned after the war and the land is now used as an industrial estate, a farmers market and for Ellough Park Raceway, a kart racing cicuit. William Clowes Ltd. printers moved to the industrial park in 2004 and the park has the UK's largest solar roof installation sited on the roof of a Promens warehouse and with a generating capacity of 1.65MW. For a time a heliport operated to service oil and gas rigs in the North Sea.
A basic airstrip, known as Beccles Airport, remains at the site, used as a training base and private airfield.
