Good morning,
Does anyone know where I could find information on locations of old Home Guard Ranges/establishments? Near me, but in the middle of nowhere, there is what l think is an old range dug out of a piece of farm land and pacing it out it is 130+ yards from end to end and 20+ yards wide, so taking a few yards off for the frames and sloping bank at the butts end and a few yards at the other end for shooting points, it looks like a 100 yard range is feasible. It is planted with pines that appear to have been planted in the late 40's or early 50's (I counted the rings on a felled one!) so that ties up as well. This has got me intrigued and the thought of hunting around for more examples locally is quite appealing.
Thanks.

Meaty, any chance of a photograph or link from Google maps to the location?
