POW Corridor #1 - a photo on Flickriver

POW Corridor #1

            POW Camp 198 (Island Farm) was a Prisoner of War Camp in Bridgend, South Wales. It was built originally as a dormitory for female factory workers in 1938, it became a POW camp in 1944. The camp hosted a number of Axis prisoners, most of them German, and was the scene of the largest escape attempt by German POW’s in Britain during World War II in March 1945. 

These photographs, taken in September 2012, showcase the building as it stands today.

Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
