Subject:
Velmore Camp/Hostel, Chandlers Ford
Dear
Sir/Madam,
I am
researching the history of the Velmore Camp and Hostel
in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, and wondered whether you
would be able to provide any insights? I am particularly
interested in the use of both parts of the sites, and
the dates during which the camp was in operation. If you
are able to help, i would really appreciate it.
Many
Thanks,
Adam Tewkesbury

Thank you very
much for your prompt reply John, information very gratefully
received.
Having carried
out some further research, it looks like Velmore Camp was an
overflow area for displaced Polish refugees, supporting the
larger site at Hiltingbury. I have attached a map of the
site from 1950 which might be of interest to you. If I find
anything else I'll let you know,
Thanks again for
your help, Regards,
Adam
