The Second World War in Boyton

Today the weather was occasionally sunny, so I went for a walk in the Boyton countryside and I took some photos around the border between Devon and Cornwall.
Near to the river which forms the border, there are the remains of a Prisoner of War Camp which has been turned into a farm workshop.
Initially, the camp hosted Italian prisoners and later German prisoners. All of them worked at local farms doing general farm work. They were even given extra food to supplement their diet in exchange for making additional goods, like baskets or trays.
People were living together harmoniously until the locals discoverd that the leather which the prisoners used to mend boots and shoes was actually from the leather belts of the farm machinery.
