Hello Ladies, Gentlemen and to those who identify as other.

I love a good theme park. But don't really go. The cost, geographical location and life as a while stop me from really getting to these places. However, it doesn't stop me from visiting other places. This is thread, that allows the good folk of towersstreet ™, to tell of adventures that are away from the Theme Park's and similar attractions. I shall start.

Eden Camp, Malton, North Yorkshire.

For most, this will be a place that driven past on the way to Flamingo Land. An old prisoner of war camp built during the second conflict in 1942. It was built to house Italian prisoners who were seemed at low risk. Later,.it housed the polish army before being a final place for Germans, being prepared to be sent back to Germany after the fighting had finished. After being used for farming, in 1987 and nice gentleman bought the land and camp, to.start a crisp factory. When he was clearing the site, 3 Italians came to see the camp.they called home for a while and a new idea was born. To create a museum about the people of the second would war. Every hut tells the story of that period and other conflicts. In display cases. Plus some scenes of various aspects to the war. In recent times it has gone through a major rejuvenation and is looking and sounding amazing. It is a present way to spend 3/4 hours.
