Description:The steam roller coming up the track between "M" and "N" Lines could possibly mean it is in the early phase of Camp construction or just regular maintenance.

On the opposite side of the Old Acre Valley are "S" and "T" Lines on an area known on local maps as The Sycamores. The diagonal building with the open frontage is a horse shelter and the platform of this can still be found to this day. This major track has totally disappeared which is a good example of how the area has regenerated after the area was cleared by Lord Lichfield to reinstate his grouse moor.
