| The Experience is a former US military base that was set up Bushey Hall and was there for several decades. It’s now a heritage centre devoted to the late WW2 era, the 1940s, and is a mix of domestic and military heritage. You’ll see several curved tin buildings that are classics of quickly erected military buildings from WW2, of which few survive, and the main one is given over to the domestic life of a 1940s household. |
