As our 1940s prisoner of war projects continue

We need tales and photos too, did your families have anything to do with the POW camps or satellite camps in Durham? (List below) we would love to hear from you.

A “pant” or drinking fountain from the 1800s it is fabulous to see it restored and working despite it not being drinking water quality. #HClicks #history #industrialarchaeology #drinkingfountain #UKhistory #photography

A Victorian sulphur water spa. Thought by many to hold healing powers. The thought of drinking water that tastes of rotten eggs does nothing for me.

The remaining buildings of Ashgill Head lead mine. 19th century. Just standing here sends one time travelling back to when this area was a busy industrial area. #HClicks #industrialarchaeology #history #Industry #archaeology #timetravel #ourpast

The gorgeous moors only twenty minutes from my home. Last evening saw wonderful light as the mist rolled in, its hard to believe it was once heavy industrial land. #HClicks #Stayfocused #Arielphotography #photography #photographyforwellbeing #freshair #industrialarchaeology

These are just some of the paintings that are preserved at Harperly POW camp, painted directly onto the walls by one of the prisoners. They are amazing! #HClicks #stayfocused #photography #photographyforwellbeing #industrialarchaeology

Camera Chinon CE4 circa 1980. First time I have self developed images in 40 years. remembering how much fun it is, the excitement of seeing “what you’re going to get”. #blackandwhitephotography #analoguephotography

As part of a separate project, we visited the most amazing farm last week, with many of the original buildings still in situ. The place, which I can’t name here is simply beautiful. The Gin Gan.
