Brigstock Camp august 2010

Brigstock Camp built 1925 and over the years was used for an Emigration Camp, an Army Camp, ATS and Land Army Camp, US Army Training School, and in 1960 Stewarts & Lloyds Steelworks purchased Brigstock Camp for £23,000 at an auction. One hundred people moved from Scotland to work at the Steelworks and used Brigstock Camp for their living quarters and paid between £2.00 to £4.00 a week in rent and were allowed to stay up to nine months to allow them to find suitable accommodation. Many did so in the new expanding Corby.

MD that is a fantastic first shot, and i love the old laudry ticket, like u said the floors look dodgy but really add to the whole feel for the place, cheers for that

It was quite an interesting place for a mooch, not much of this kind of stuff left now.

Nice one lads, shame i missed it

Looking good MD

Yes you are correct but they are some distance away from each other
