OSPREY HOLIDAY & CONFERENCE CENTRE
History:
The centre's buildings were originally built as an Anti Submarine Detection Base and occupied during WW2.
The locals on the Island refer to the centre as the Hush Hush as it was a "Top Secret" defence
base. In the early 1990s the dilapidated buildings were renovated with the assistance of the Challenge Anneka TV
Programme. Since then the centre has been hired to community groups and families for holidays.
