History
RAF Lindholme is a former Royal Air Force station located in South Yorkshire. It opened in June 1940 as RAF Hatfield Woodhouse and was primarily used by Bomber Command during World War II. Post-war, the station transitioned into a radar station and then later In the 1960s and 70s, Lindholme briefly served as a gliding centre.
By 1985, the site was converted into a prison and many of the original buildings were converted into prison accommodation, offices and workshops. The Officers’ Mess building was originally used as a Category D prison wing and was later converted into an Immigration Removal Centre. Presently, the prison serves as a Category C site for male prisoners only.
