"It was a paradise for children"

Available for over a year

Slade Camp in Headington was a former military site that was used to house people displaced by the Second World War. Huts at the former barracks between Brasenose and Magdalen woods became home to dozens of families between 1948 and 1970. Recently, a group who'd spent time living there - many as young children - returned to share their memories as part of a historical project. 91福利社 Radio Oxford's Sophie Law joined families as they returned to the site more than half a century after it was abandoned - and heard their incredible stories about this unusual paradise.
