Site 2 was the largest living site on the airbase and was located South of Mary Ann Site. Originally built for the RAF but was taken over by the USAAF in 1942. 132 nissan huts & 10 gerard huts were constructed by the end of 1943. The site housed the mess halls, theatre, chapel, morgue, dentist & the base hospital. The USAF left at the end of the 1950's & the site was no longer required & was demolished in the 1970's. Most of site 2 now lies under Whittle Hall housing estate.
