Imber Village

[Snips86x]

On the easter holidays, I visited with my partner and son the village of Imber. As I'm sure you all know the history I will not bore you and will get straight to the images. Hope you enjoy them.

6 Villages taken by MOD near Thetford Nfk

There is a similar place to this near Thetford Nfk. It has the MOD name of Stanta (battle area). During the early part of the WW11 six villages were taken by the war office and all the residents were given 30 days to vacate. The only times they were to return were for funerals of the original inhabitants. The land has never been given back and all the original inhabitants have now passed on, so sad.

Are there any remnants left?

I really would like to see this place

Its open for 50 days a year but those 50 days are dictated by the MOD. Your best bet would be to try next easter.
