Only just seen this Dave. I know this area very well. As kids we used to play around there all the time, there was defintely at least 3 pill boxes and a block of at least 4 or 6 of what looked like solitary confinement cells. If you were down by the river you used to always find bits and pieces like German coins, utensils, and sometimes spent bullets cases. A lad who i went to school with, his grandma was allowed in the camp and wanted better conditions for the prisoners. I am also sure that there used to be german graves in Greenacres cemetary.
