Went to have a mooch around the Anzio Army Training Camp at Blackshaw Moor, Nr Leek, Staffordshire.


The place was used by the Anti Aircraft Battalion of the US Army.
It was taken over by Polish troops until the end of the 2nd World War.
Polish civilians occupied the camp until 1963.

The Ministry of Defence reclaimed the site in 1980 and built the newer part for use by..

• The British Regular Army
• Territorial Army
• Army Cadet Force
• Scouts.


parts of the older camp can still be seen to the rear.

The camp closed in 2004 due to it being surplus to MOD needs.
it might be turned into a retirement village someday.


Didn't get to see some parts due to the fast fading light :(

nice:), life would not be complete without a can of Glitto:lol::lol:

It's certainly excellent for ridding your surfaces of that nasty, horrible shine. :mrgreen:

A pity it's not so good for ridding the world of the pond life that insist on smashing up the universe. :mad:
 
I think out of all the places I've explored, this is the only place I've also been to when 'live'. It's still weird seeing pictures of it in this state.
 
It certainly would not PC :lol::mrgreen:

Should bag it up and sell it off for the scrotes to snort Seahorse :neutral:

Would've been good to see this place as it was Saul..
visited some similar places in my Army Cadet days :)
came across a couple of pics when it was still open while searching for some history on the place.
i'll see if i can find them again later.
 
Ohhh nice pictures, this place isn't far from where I grew up and I never knew it existed...I feel a visit may be in order!
