17th June 1980 - Greenham Common

Secretary of State for Defence Francis Pym has announced 160 US nuclear cruise missiles will be located at RAF Greenham Common, Berkshire, and the disused RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire.

In 1981 following the decision a women's peace camp was set up at Greenham Common which remained there to protest the basing of American nuclear weapons in the UK.

In 1991 following the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States the weapons were removed.
