Cuckoo Hill, South Gorley
When I was a child in 1951 we lived in a Nissen hut, address Site 5 CuckooHill, which I have since found out was accommodation camp for aircrew at Ibsley.There were about 20? huts still in use until 1952/3 when we moved to new council houses in Ringwood.
I have revisited the site several times. In 1988 the site was a field which had just been planted with conifer seedlings as a Christmas tree plantation, which failed? In 2012 I returned to find a wood of conifers 20ft high! The farm owner allowed me to go into the wood to find my old hut remains; still there with old air raid shelter remains (beware of the pigs!)
