POW Camp 116 (Farm) Hatfield Heath, Essex. November 2014

[JayB]

Prisoner of War Camp 116 was set up in 1941 to house Italian prisoners of war, and from 1943-1944 it mainly held German and Austrian prisoners.

Camp 116 (Mill Lane Camp, Hatfield Heath) conforms to the so-called ‘Standard’ layout.

Seeing as this was only my 2nd time of going out I wasn't too impressed. The gates were locked and there was barbed wire fencing sections off - Would prob have been better at night and with someone with more experience.

Nice one and nice pics! Is the rest of the site still there? I saw diggers when I last visited.

Thanks guys. It was a nice place for taking photos but I was disappointed in the lack of entry into other buildings. Maybe after a bit more experience I'll gain more confidence and start thinking more like an Urbexer

Are all the POW sheds locked up now then Jay??

Great photos btw

Nice details and focus. Especially the photo with the barbed wire.

Don't think they are locked up but they are all fenced off with barbed wire and the gates were locked. Not really a great idea to be climbing in the middle of the day (or was I just being over cautious?)

Thanks Andy, I do love to get a few of those shots in ?
