Mark Hone Posted 14 December , 2010 Share Posted 14 December , 2010 I seem to recall that the lad who lived at the farm was interested in World War One and set up his own website detailing the history. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. I've visited the site on a number of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbaulch Posted 3 August , 2014 Share Posted 3 August , 2014 Hi Is the Pond Farm museum still running? I'm heading to the Salient on 30th August and would love to visit but have emailed twice on the site and had no reply. Can you just turn up or do we need to book? Also can anyone recommend a suitable amount of time to spend at Pond Farm? thanks Dav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 3 August , 2014 Share Posted 3 August , 2014 Dav, there is another, more up-to-date thread on this. Allow an hour - the museum is quite small but the everyday impact of the war on modern life (shells awaiting collection, artefacts dug up etc) takes a little time to absorb. Well worth a visit.

charlesa Posted 20 September , 2014 Share Posted 20 September , 2014 Hi Stijn, thank you for a fantastic evening looking around Pond Farm and your museum. Fascinating to find somewhere almost totally untouched since WW1. Hopefully see you again soon, Best wishes Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

equusv Posted 10 March , 2019 Share Posted 10 March , 2019 I don't see that anyone has responded to the original question. Pond Farm was General Arthur Currie's 2nd Brigade HQ CEF briefly at the beginning of 2nd Ypres until it was obliterated by fire caused by shellfire. Sorry if someone has already answered this, but I don't see it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
