A system which allows members of the public to send videos and photographs directly to Cumbrian police officers is saving time and money, the force has claimed.

If the police believe someone has footage that could help in an investigation, they send a link which can be used to upload images to the cloud which enables officers to see it within minutes.

Supt Matt Kennerley said: "We are the first force internationally to go live with this sytem.

"We are leading the pack here. Traditionally, we've had options to get footage off people's mobile phones but it's been very time consuming, very problematic. This is just keeping up with the technology that's available to the public."

The hostels had housed single workers brought to the shores of Windermere to work at a temporary flying boat factory, and for a few weeks were home to the 300 youngsters who were brought to the area to recover from their years in concentration camps while decision were made about their future.

Archaeologists Caroline Sturdy Colls and Kevin Colls will carry out a survey to identify what remains of the estate lie hidden below ground, and then excavate some of the remains they locate.

Volunteers will also be able to get involved in the exploration in the summer and autumn.
