ImberVillage.co.uk- discover the lost village of Imber - Imber Village, Wiltshire
So this place is not that far away from where I live. As a kid we used to ride our bikes up to it, sometimes getting our days wrong and turning the corner onto a all out military exercise. Or was that the right days? Now it's a bit tougher to get in (bloody muslims) but they open it up a couple of times a year, supposedly to let relatives in to tend graves.
The drive up to it is like a war zone with bombed out tanks littering the landscape
Houses, most original, but sured up to take a beating.
I always chuckle at squaddie humour.
The Church is still in perfect knick - the army is not allowed to practice shooting up churches yet it seems. The mosque has been flattened though.
Shop and post office I seem to think?
When you see it, you will freak out
Church use as coffee shop to raise money for keeping the church in good repair. I would have thought the army could have done that at least!
Next open in Jan, and a weird, day out.
