UK Foreign Office Inspection Report
This former PoW has been lost to modern housing. At the time of my visit the David Wilson Homes were in the process of completing their Bishops Green Housing Development on the site of the PoW Camp.
The Original 2003 English Heritage PoW Report and Archaeology Data Service place the came in and around the bungalows on St Cuthbert Avenue. This is incorrect as born out by the investigation Malcolm Sanders and as shown within his report available through a link at the bottom of this page.
However, my memory of this site was not the new buildings but the background noise / music from the Glastonbury Festival !
