Pingley camp
Where? Lincolnshire. Photos 35. Comments 16. Posted 7 July 2007.
During WWII, a prisoner of war camp was built on the outskirts of Brigg, in Lincolnshire. It was used to house around 750 Italian and Germany prisoners. There were 35 huts on site - 23 for prisoners and the remainder for guards.
During the 1950s, the role of the site was drastically changed - it was used as a holiday camp. Well, a farming-holiday camp for the local farm. People would book in for a week, have a bit of a holiday and work on the farm. It closed during the 1980s. Some parts are still used by the farm to store machinery, but it is in a rather bad state.

RAF Stenigot opened during WWII as a Chain Home radar station. During the 1950s, NATO selected the site for use in it's Ace High communication programme - a huge communication's network from Norway to Turkey.
As always, the excellent SubBrit has more details about the site.
