I have often been asked by readers where certain events took place or locations of certain buildings and complexes that are not open to visitors and to a greater extent have now been removed and replaced with other facilities.
The Plan I am showing here depicts the period while I was living within in the Camp from 1948-1954. I have made one omission, there was a railway line linking the Fuel Depot from the main trunk which was built by GI Prisoners around 1950/51
