Guillemont Barracks, located just off of junction 4a of the M3, on the Minley Road (A327), was a military installation at Minley in Hampshire.
History
The barracks were built in 1938.
The site was purchased by Sun Microsystems in 1997 for £36 million.[9] After Sun Microsystems moved to Reading, the property developer, Landid, bought the site in January 2011. In 2018, after clearing the site, Bellway started a new development involving 226 new houses called Helios Park.[10]
