Brigstock Military camp 1925 ft

Описание: I team up with Alex of Exploring with Forsyth Photography and explore the disused military camp at Brigstock, Kettering in Northamptonshire.
Brigstock Camp, near Kettering, has a long history with 55 huts first built in 1925 and was used as an immigration camp for Canadians. After being sold to the War Office in 1939 it was repurposed as an Army Camp, ATS and Land Army Camp and US Army Training School.
When the war ended in 1945, it was home to 400 ATS Auxiliary Territorial Service Females until 1947. before the US Army took over four years later. Plans were drawn up for a borstal but this never materialised and in 1960, Stewarts & Lloyds Steelworks purchased the site for £23,000 at an auction.
One hundred people moved from Scotland to work at the Steelworks and used Brigstock Camp for their living quarters, paying between £2 to £4-a-week in rent.
They were allowed to stay up to nine months to allow them to find suitable accommodation, with many moving into the newly expanding Corby.
It has remained mainly empty since the 1960s except for a spell being used as a chicken farm.
According to East Northamptonshire Council, its most recent usage was as a lorry park and cattle transport business until 1993.
