I thought this was interesting, I didn't know we had so many left. I can actually think of a use for one or two of them now.

Interesting topic SB My father told me they had prisoners of war
working on our farm in the 1940s he said they were from a camp
at Hampton Lovet nr Droitwich

Good evening Astwood, as I understand things POWs build the roads around our estate, in the late 1940s they probably mixed the concrete by hand.

If the old politicians were anything like our modern ones they would have talked them all into staying here to add to our quality of life.

My father said they were put to work on the farm
for a bigger yield of crops because of the food shortage

Then of course with all of the extra POWs there was a lot more people to feed.

That was the best of living in the country just after the war
there was plenty to eat unlike other places
