What is recorded here

Montagu Street in Newcastleton holds a Horsa Building from the twentieth century, its canteen and hut still tied to military memory. Whether soldiers drank tea there or officers planned routes remains unknown, but the names suggest a place where young people waited out war and boredom together. The street may have hummed with voices before falling silent, leaving only a address and a purpose behind.
