Ilford Park Polish camp
Ilford Park Polish camp
Now demolished, these derelict buildings were part of a large camp for Polish people who were exiled during WW2. It continued to provide accommodation for up to 600 families after the war but in the mid-1980's a modern residential home was built in the grounds to cater for the now ageing population.
