This
First World War Army Hut was built as part of the
Gadebridge Army Camp, Hemel Hempstead, in 1915. After the war it was purchased by Tring Parish for use as a district church, St George. It later became the
New Mill Community Centre. The site is now to be redeveloped for housing and arrangements have been made to move the Hut to
a site near Bury St Edmund where a reconstructed Army Camp is being built. Work has just started and the site will be cleared to be ready for the builders by the end of September. I visited the site this afternoon and had an interesting talk with Taff Gillingham, who is moving the hut.
