The Camp, was built in fields that used to be known as Mabley Furlonge. A Prisoner of War camp, No 27 was erected during World War Two. The prisoners at the camp used one of the Nissen huts as a theatre. After the war the Nissen huts were used as emergency housing and the theatre was used by the LADS. In March 1957 tender for 12 houses and 8 flats to be built at the Mabel's Furlong site was accepted, and in October a tender was accepted by Herefordshire Education Committee for the erection of the County Secondary school. The theatre moved to the old Church Room in the Cattle Market. |
