Springtowncamp Online Map

This of course is the map of Springtown Camp that is on the home page.We intend to use the tennants list from 1956 which can be found here as a starting point.We are taking the information from this list and putting the details of each family in their respective hut .The reference numbers which are now on the huts will be removed and the the original numbers will be added. This will allow our visitors to click on any of the huts to see who lived there .Each hut will have the facility to add or change information as is required.If there are any photographs of the the familys who lived there these can also be added.

Re-occupation of Springtown Camp online
Everyone who lived in Springtown Camp will have the oppurtunity to re-occupy their hut online .There will be no squatters but an orderly re-occupation By this I mean, for eg ?Mc Connells hut which was our hut number 151a will now be known as the Music hut. The details of this scheme and how you can re-occupy your hut will be explained in due course.

We have already had music submitted to the website from various sources for the Music hut and look forward to recieving more. ?We invite all are musicans ,songwriters,singers etc to submit their work

As with the Music, Springtown Camp has been blessed with an abundance of talent when it comes to poetry.I hope that the poets hut will be widely used and everyone is welcome.
