DON'T MENTION THE WAR!
There’s still time for a last look at Brigg’s Pingley Camp.
Work on demolishing buildings at the former Italian and German prisoner-of-war camp cannot start until next month.
However, a sign has already gone up advertising the executive homes which are to be built on part of the huge site.
If you do pop down for a look, do so from the road and don’t be tempted to go round the buildings, which are in a very decayed state.
Better safe than sorry!
If you want to get a good view, take the public footpath which runs off Bigby High Road – it offers a good look from the side and back of the old camp, where many captured soldiers were housed during the Second World War.
