Guest Posted 24 February , 2019 Share Posted 24 February , 2019 This is a long shot. Does anyone have info on an old military (possibly RAF) camp off Blackpool road in preston,lancs ? It's was just behind a pub/hotel, Lea gate. I played there as a kid & would love to know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 25 February , 2019 Admin Share Posted 25 February , 2019 Hi Tony and welcome to the forum. I haven't found any specific references to such a camp (but the pub certainly goes back quite a while!) Perhaps try the Lancashire Archives http://archivecat.lancashire.gov.uk/calmview/ What makes you think it was a WW1 RFC / RAF base / camp?

brianmorris547 Posted 26 February , 2019 Share Posted 26 February , 2019 (edited) Tony I checked on Old Maps UK and looked at a number of maps from 1912 onwards. Nothing shown near the Lea Gate Hotel. More old maps at Preston Central Library. Do you mean north or south of the Lea Gate. I can only think of Springfields which became BNFL or Warton , now BAC.
