UK FO Inspection Reports
This is without doubt an interesting site. The buildings on this site have been cleared and a significant portion of this site is now spit between Billesdon Commercial Waste Disposal site and community sites. Parts of the site have been sort of turned into a public access space as “The Billesdon Woodland Pool”, and has been supported by the Local Heritage Initiative. Signs have been put up about the PoW Camp.
Whilst all the buildings have been cleared from this site the same is not true of the fences. ALL the WWII Concrete Fence posts and gates have been retained on the site. In some cases, various posts are no longer used. Whereas, in other case the old WWII wires have been replaced with modern material but hung on the old WWII standard concrete posts
