This was the site of italian POW camp, some buildings still exist and are being used for storage ,part of site let to a metalworker who is there most of time and somebody living in caravan ,so not sure how easy to take more photos. you can see what I think were the latrines and bases of other buildings no longer there,the tree carving is included because some italian is supposed to have carved his initials there but not sure if this is really it.

That's great mate, nice one for working hard to get these showing. Reminds me of that POW camp in Lincolnshire (Pingley I think) that they knocked down last year. There is a bit to see here, and nice one for sharing :thumb

I have been back to camp again to get more pics but found some of the buildings have gone since I was last there,which is tragic.leaving only latrines and one other building which is locked and borded couldn't get in .See extra pics of latrines with wooden seats.
