Memories of the woodland hideaway that brought adventure to generations

"Virtually everyone I knew was blown away by the place...it was superb. You could go 200 yards and you may as well be on the other side of the moon...it was just incredible. It was infectious."
The memory of Phil Rigby remains vivid as he recalls his times at a hideaway which was the source of adventure for generations.
His words are spoken over an old 8mm film shot in and around Middlewood Camp during the 1960s.
Phil was the warden at the camp for 20 years, including the last camp when it closed in 2016.
In the footage lads are playing cricket in an opening, climbing trees, marching in uniform on a road, and walking through sunlit woodland.
The woods are dotted with tents in a haven where the outdoors and imaginations were the key ingredients of a healthy childhood.
Mike Dunn, a former scout recalls in the film, how he couldn't stay away from the retreat off Leigh Road in Worsley.
"I would often go out to my scout meeting on a Friday night, and my mum said If I hadn't turned up by about half past eleven, they just locked up, and they didn't expect to see me until Sunday...virtually every weekend it became part of my life - everything revolved around Middlewood. "
Another regular at the camp, Dave Rigby says:"It wasn't about scouting it was about Middlewood, the space, the place, and the opportunity."
Now a new exhibition will trace 73 years of scouting at the site.
Fittingly it will be shown at RHS Bridgewater. The camp had to close to make way for the 154-acre gardens.
It was set up in the vast grounds of Worsley New Hall and was used by scout groups throughout the north west.
Visitors to the gardens have commented on their childhood memories at the location which triggered the idea of exploring its history.
