This place is on Naas Lane near to Lydney Docks.
I remember this little place from when I was a kid. Funny how it seemed much bigger then, and there were small companies using the buildings. Looking at the water tower I do wonder if some has been demolished. It's lost its tank but the tank must have been at least 20ft by 15ft by 15ft high if not bigger and would have supplied far more than the remaining three buildings.
I was also told that the building my father worked in on the trading estate about 1/4 mile to the SW was part of a prisoner of war camp and was used as an indoor exercise yard. It seems an awful lot of trouble to go to for WW2 prisoners though. Especially odd as they made the plywood for the Mosquito in the same trading estate.
Anyway on with the photos.
You pass this rather nice Tudor farm houseon the way there. It's nice to see it done up, it was in a dreadful state a few years back.
The camp is almost invisible in the undergrowth
Some inside shots
The water tower. I couldn't get close to this through the undergrowth (wrong clothes and shoes)
