Yep healthy food goes out of the window!!

[@dianeleahy3345]

I didn’t know about the camp either, very interesting. The mushroom soup recipe looked delicious and just the thing you need on a gloomy day, heartwarming. Thanks Rebecca.

Enjoyed your video a lot. I know Lodge Moor and Redmires well as I grew up 10 mins down the road. I had some idea about the POW camp but had no idea how big or how important it was. Brilliant fascinating video and yes Lodge Moor is colder than anywhere else in Sheffield lol. 😀

[@nigelduckworth4419]

For 27 years I lived in sheffield and not far away in the Hope Valley. The Three Merry Lads is a great pub. Good food and good atmosphere and also marvellous views from the beer garden. I also lived a short distance away from it and used to mountain bike all around that area. Not once did I realise until now that this had been a POW camp. Not only that but I could see you walking on the periphery on what seemed to be a superb level path on which to cycle. Never knew that was there either! So many thanks for the video..

[@BeckandBeyond]

Yes the pathway on the edge was perfect for cycling! And with beautiful scenery

Hi Becky, great vid as usual, only a fellow sheffielder can appreciate the area's which you visit. If memory served me correctly, the old Lodge Moor hospital was nearby, now a housing estate.

Hi Rebecca, Great vlog, but we’ve learnt to expect nothing less now! This resonates with us greatly having family ties to this history. We know of many stories about the Italian prisoners of war and we have connections that would simply fascinate you! Best wishes, J&M XX

[@BeckandBeyond]

Wow, what an amazing thing to have!

[@adrianpeaty9078]

First time I've watched one of your vlogs and very interesting. Such a cute travelling companion! 🖤🐶

[@BeckandBeyond]

Thankyou, glad you found it interesting! I'm still finding my feet on KZbin so my channel is quite a mixed bag at the minute 😁 x

[@jamestitterton1627]

I used to wild camp there when i was around 16-18. Ive always struggled with my head. This was my place of peace. Never once had an issue with the traveller site next-door. If you keep going to the carpark at Redmires. Walk behind it and you will find a secret gem.

[@BeckandBeyond]

Oh wow I can imagine it is a great place to camp it's so beautiful up there

Wicked video Beck, I hope you’re good! ….Smithy

[@BeckandBeyond]

Thankyou Smithy! I'm great

[@Genesimmonscat]

Hi Becky, A few years ago I remember my dad having a book by an Author called John Harris. I think the novel was called Covanant of Death, it was set at Blackmires a training camp for Sheffield soldiers. I think the book was about soldiers from Sheffield who evenually ended up on the Somme. Also talking about Lodge Moor, did you know about the jet aircraft that crashed into the Hospital? See photo of article I have.

[@loafersheffield]

An excellent book. Both Christopher and Peter Hitchens rated it and they could hardly ever agree on anything.

[@BeckandBeyond]

I didn't know that!! I will definitely look that up thankyou!

[@BeckandBeyond]

Haha love this!

[@favnvs1]

Interesting watch, thank you for the upload. Out of interest where did you park to do the walk

[@BeckandBeyond]

I parked on the main road across from the entrance to the camp there was a little lay by however there was a big car park at the hallam rangers football club

[@ElizabethCHAPLIN-m7z]

Hi becky love these history blogs who would have thought prisoners of war was so close looks a beautiful walk I love autumn and heads up on coffee shop I had a fabulous gluten free gingerbread latte and wait for it gingerbread muffin to die for meadow Hall at bakers baristas 😅

Perfect vlog. Ill be making the soup tomorrow. My cheat to it is I add a tin of Cambles mushroom soup. Really does make it pop.

[@BeckandBeyond]

Thankyou. That's just reminded me about Campbells mushroom soup I used to make a lovely pasta sauce with it but totally forgot about it, off to the supermarket tomorrow 😆

[@briancooper562]

Late in WW2 most prisoners in the camp where Italian and considered low risk. They helped with local farm jobs and built the current 'drive' through Wyming Brook and round Rivelin Dams. I do not know who decided to put such a prison next to some of west Sheffield's water supply? The camp area had at one time being considered for a Sheffield airport but the weather was against such a plan. During WW1 there was a mock up of hill 60 on the western front for training purposes just north of the top Redmires dam

[@BeckandBeyond]

I didn't know that about the airport that's interesting thankyou

[@frankcarter6427]

Wow! I never knew Donitz was here in Sheffield!! Thanks.

[@BeckandBeyond]

Thankyou. It felt quite safe there were lots of other walkers around. X

[@helenreasbeck1348]

Brings back happy memories as a child, we used to walk up Wyming Brook and either onto the 3 Merry Lads for a drink and bag of crips and back down to the car or up to Stanage Pole to admire the views, can vaguely remember my dad telling me about the Camp and unfortunately my Grandma died in Lodge Moor Hospital of a heart attack when I was little but can remember visiting. It can be a little bit bleak up there as its very exposed. I'm going to have a bash at the mushroom soup in my soup maker (cheat) usually make Butternut squash soup during the winter months, its lovely.

[@BeckandBeyond]

It was always a treat to go to the pub for pop and crisps! 🥰 I wasn't aware of the hospital until a few people have mentioned it I need to have a read about it. X

My Father in law was Ukrainian, he was in the camp. He married after the war and moved to Page Hall, Bolsover Rd. He could make or build anything, he died very young, late sixties. His wife was Italian, she worked nights in the local hospital. Died five months after retiring, just glad they didn't see what happened to where they once lived. So sad.
