Description
The Heath is a hill just to the edge of Norwich and is mixture of heath and woods. Its history links it to a number of former military sites and there are signs around the heath detailing its history. HOWEVER, there are no signs pointing out the location or even the fact that a PoW Site existed here ?
In reading Malcolm Sanders research on this location a revisit is needed in that my images are about 300m to the North West of the actual site. My images are North of Gurney Road and the site is to the south
