Not a derelict place at all, but very much associated with a place of interest which features here regularly - Greenham Common former airbase, and specifically, the Peace Camp.

The original Women's Peace Camp on Greenham Common closed on the 5th September 2000 after 19 years of a continuous presence outside Greenham Common Airbase.

This is a peaceful little garden created in memory of Helen Wyn Thomas, one of the Peace Camp ladies, whose life was taken from her when a West Midlands horsebox drove too close to her as she stood on the safe zone waiting to cross the road, near the camp. These pix may be of interest to those who know Greenham.
