Location: Bradford - on - avon

Public or Abandoned: Public

Demolished: No

This was our first stop on our little day trip around the area - are drive here was 3hrs ( but i wouldn't drive that far for just one site ) we parked out and went and had a look at the bar - we spent a good hour on the site as we also went to the park with our little one who loved the slide.

the bar itself was interesting and very cool but defo worth doing if you're in the area/passing by

it said that tithe barn is one the largest medieval barns in England, it also said that it was built in the mid-14th century, 1539, the barn passed into private hands and was part of a working farm until 1914.

i first saw the Polish camp online - and I knew I was passing through the area for a different explorer so i thought i give this place a checkout - it was so easy to find due to the number of reports and history online.

we arrived in the area about 10am and we parked up on a layby and headed on to explore - it was done in three sections so the first section was the first two buildings - sadly you couldn't get into to them, then we went to the next 3 little Nissan huts - again there was nothing in them and then tracked through the brambles to find the last building that we knew off and this building was the one I wanted

the building itself looks small on the outside but was very impressive - and was a lot bigger than expected on the inside but the one thing that shocked me was the amount of stuff that was left inside.

so there is a lot of history scattered online about this site -

so it said that Checkendon camp was taken from the MOD back in 1948, and was turned in to a hostal hosing for polish families , the camp was similar to other ones that are scatted across the Uk - it said that this camp closed down in the early 60S

The camp at Checkendon, located at the outskirts of the village, offered accommodation in small buildings known as Nissen huts.

the Polish camp was there to help with schooling the children and training the adults for civilian jobs.
