Beacon Barracks
Ministry of Defence Stafford otherwise known as MOD Stafford or Beacon Barracks is a Ministry of Defence site in Stafford, in England.

History

Beacon Barracks was renamed from RAF Stafford in 2006, after the Royal Air Force moved out. In 2013, the British Government announced the redevelopment of the barracks, to allow 16 Signal Regiment and 1 Armoured Division Signal Regiment to move there, in 2015.

The barracks are referred to as 'Stafford Station' and forms part of Headquarters West Midlands.
