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.

The first shot is a classic! and the rest follow a very close second (atleast to my eyes),in seven shots you have captured beautifully the whole essence of a place.Excellent variety of shots.:)
Probably a dumb question! but I would not be asking it if was not so myself.But! what does the triangular P stand for on the wing and tailplane of the Bomber pictured in the stained glass window?:confused:
