The travesty of the demi mode apocalypse - all that is left of the fields once belonging to Whyns Farm (various spellings) at Thorpe Arch, Yorkshire. Someone put this trust farm forward for demolition - see previous post, so that a dangerous war time factory of destruction could be built on the site of peaceful and diligent commerce.
The power squabbles of a handful of politicians and the downfall of millions also resulted in the ruined livelihoods of the unseen. Those who were deemed so insignificant to the war machine that they did not even count. Two hundred and fifty years of a local farming family and their homestead removed in 1940, by a Ministry of Defence compulsory purchase order.
I am an avid follower of Urbex Forums and Derelict Places and the link below tells the story well enough. No need for me to add to it. All I can say is what a waste! The Hornshaw family's home and profitable farming business taken away to build a world war two munitions factory and what is left today? A pile of old junk!
