This very large house that now has a sad history now.
In the 80's the building was used as the police headquarter for the TV drama series ‘Bergerac’ with John Nettles in the title role.
It was then turned into a very good youth centre.
In the 50's and 60's the building was a childrens home; where there was apparent child abuse going on. There also seems to be evidence of child murders.
As I write this in July 2008 a German wartime bunker nearby is also being investigated.
Such a sad history.
