Abstract: |
A Level 1 standing building appraisal has been undertaken at Happendon Prisoner of War Camp (NGR: NS 85261 33342, centred) in order to assess the structural remains in respects of the proposed development at Poneil in the form of an OCC mine and associated features such as topsoil storage and water treatment. The POW camp dates to the Second World War and is comprised of a complex of three camps; the main camp is located to the west and set within a large rectangular area. The later insertion of the M74 would have destroyed the other two camps and possibly compromised the eastern most corner of the central camp. Currently the central camp is comprised of a series of brick and concrete bases which formed the base for the Nissen Huts which were used to accommodate Italian and German prisoners of war. |
