Summary[edit]

Description
English: Imber Range, No Access Point "From the late 19th century onwards, the War Office began buying up land on Salisbury Plain, primarily to the east of Imber, and using it for manœuvres. From the late 1920s, farms around Imber were purchased, as well as the land on which the village itself sat. The pressures of agricultural depression, combined with the good prices offered by the military, encouraged the sale of land, with few being put off by the new conditions of their tenancy, which allowed the War Office to assume control and evict the residents if necessary. By the time of the Second World War, almost all of the land in and around Imber belonged to the Ministry of War." The above was copied from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imber
