Hi, it looks like the pow camp grounds have been sold, chainsaws are now cutting back the trees and undergrowth and diggers are clearing a path in for the demolition to start. This was used for German prisoners to pack eggs. I have been photographing it for a while now, quite rare to find something on you,r doorstep, enjoy the pics

Excellent pictures. I never knew this place existed either and it is pretty much on my doorstep!
Do you have a pinpoint location on this place or any others around here? I only live in Sawbridgeworth so if you would have me I'd love to come along to anywhere to take a few pictures.
Good job!:)

If you live in sawbridgeworth you have a couple of nice airfields to explore on your doorstep, both sawbridgeworth and hunsden airfields are quite accessable, unfortunately the BHQ at hunsden is now locked up tight, the one at sawbridgeworth is open but you will need waders to go inside.

I know a couple of the pillboxes that are on the road and the memorial obviously,but I have never seen the BHQ.
Must admit I am more interested in old buildings, houses and and hospitals etc. Would like to find an old building in a state of disrepair, maybe with some furniture, surgical equipment etc. I saw some pictures on a site recently that I just can't find now of an old hospital somewhere up north which had a practically untouched surgeons table. Would love to get the location of that if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks for the info outkast. Think I will have a little walk and try to find the BHQ you mentioned.

Much appreciated.
 
Hi, I can take you if you are interested, PM me for contact details.
