Sandy Lane, Melton Mowbray, Leics.
Both during and after WWII a thousand or more members of the tight-knit Polish community were housed in the three Nissen hut style camps for displaced Polish persons on the former Royal Air Force base in Sandy Lane. By 1955 the Council authorities had successfully expanded their stock of council houses and although by this time a small number of Polish families had obtained council houses it took many years before all the Polish families were re-housed. In 1961, when these three displaced persons’ camps were in the process of being closed down, the Melton Mowbray Polish community purchased this plot of land on which to build a their latest Polish Church and club. Although previously only open to members, in 2017 the club was rebranded, and re-registered for business purposes, as the “Goral Polish Pub” and opened to the general public. This is the view from Oxford Drive.
