There isn't very much history on this place except to say it was once a POW camp. Most of the buildings are empty except for some which are basically full of old farm junk. I was a bit dubious about hanging around this site; I've no idea what an angry farmer might do if he found me there.
Hang on, this could be interesting...
In the background, Barrows, Drum WD Mk4.
Strowger switch gear, I think.
Boxes and boxes of paper.
Handsets by the dozen.
Some still in their original packaging.
Valves...
More valves, crushed underfoot.
Strange round things made of canvas with a military feel.
Headsets.
Type 706 telephone, sans dial.
Old school radios and TV's.
On 35mm Superia until further notice.
Record decks and radios (top right is a Murphy U506).
Back to digital. Battery charger, radio direction finder volt meters and god knows what else. The "film reel" might be something to do with the canvas round things...
Close up.
Radio.
CRT Tubes.
CRT from an oscilloscope, I guess, behind is an EMT Rectifier.
Radios in the farm junk.
From wiki...
Beryllium oxide is used in many high-performance semiconductor parts for applications such as radio equipment because it has good thermal conductivity while also being a good electrical insulator. BeO is carcinogenic.
