Imber
The Second World War required many civilian hardships and sacrifices. Whole tracts of land were appropriated for military use, some like the villages of Tyneham on the Dorset Coast and Imber on Salisbury Plain were never handed back.

These pictures came from a trip on a cold and grey November day in 2010, the full story can be found here.
