Crossgar Camp, Crossgar, Co. Down

Beginning in July 1944, thousands of evacuees from Gibraltar arrived in Northern Ireland. British wartime operations meant they had to leave their homes on The Rock. After a time in London, many shipped across the Irish Sea to escape German bombing.

Crossgar Camp (Camp 3) stood on the Kilmore Road, Crossgar, Co. Down. The camp consisted of a range of buildings and Nissen huts. Cedar Integrated Primary School now stands on the site.

Following the Second World War, most of the Gibraltar evacuees returned to their homeland.
