THE NAPOLEONIC PRISON OF NORMAN CROSS: THE LOST TOWN OF HUNTINGDONSHIRE
Written by Paul Chamberlain.
Stock no. 1827595
Published by The History Press. 1st 2018. Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.

Norman Cross was the site of the world's first purpose-built prisoner-of-war camp contructed during the Napoleonic Wars. Opened in 1797, it was more than just a prison: it was a town in itself, with houses, offices, butchers, bakers, a hospital, a school, a market and a banking system. This book explores what life was like for inmates and turnkeys alike. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour photos. ISBN: 9780750985932. A lovely copy.
