In the mid 80's during the miners strike it was used to house Police from all around the country, I recall that those from Hampshire had to form up and march around the place when going to board their carriers to go to the pits. Until I read this I had forgotten about the stoves in the middle of the huts. My main memory is waking up to frost on the outside of my blankets.ahhh I was just remembering this place.. I was in the army cadets Mansfield around 1988 (I think!).. spent a good weekend here.. really have fond memories.. plus we enjoyed a night exercise in sherwood forest using flares as well.. epic.. I remember getting "best cadet" at the end and had to march up in front of hundreds to get my "rambo knife" award.. fond times.... I have memories of several of us guys in one sleeping area trying to sleep and some guy walking round with his **** out "full hard!"... but besides that.. the girls billet was opposite.. we all remember gazing out the window and wondering if we should sneak across! ahaa!.. lol
Maybe the stoves were the cylindrical Tortoise stoves - with the Slow But Sure motto.In the mid 80's during the miners strike it was used to house Police from all around the country, I recall that those from Hampshire had to form up and march around the place when going to board their carriers to go to the pits.
