Time Team help unearth Worlds first prisoner of war camp in Britain.

Interesting article in todays Mail online, regarding the discovery near Peterborough of what is thought to be a prisoner of war camp that held French prisioners during the Napoleonic Wars.
Intersting reading. :D

This must be what you mean:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/u ... 722271.ece

It's from the Times, as I couldn't find it on the mail online!

One to look out for, as I find these Timeteam programmes very interesting and they have the occasional one from 'our' period.

There's also a link to information about Norman Cross on the 'Prisoners of war' thread (about 4 threads down on page three of this site,) but when I tried to open it, I couldn't make it work.

Any offers from a whizz kid to re-post the link here?
