Booklet produced to accompany The Lost Estate, an exhibition at Lydiard House in 1996 which drew on the testimonies and photographs of former residents of " the camp" at Lydiard Park (1950-1960).

Containing quotations from former residents, the booklet covers the huts, transport, shopping, children's games, school, social events and the closure of the estate in 1960.
