NORMAN CROSS was the site of the world's first purpose-built
prisoner-of-war camp constructed 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. It was an important prison and
military establishment in the east of England with a lively
community of some 7,000 French inmates. Alongside a comprehensive
examination of the prison itself, this detailed and informative
book, compiled by a leading expert on the Napoleonic era, explores
what life was like for inmates and turnkeys alike - the clothing,
food, health, education, punishment and, ultimately, the closure of
the depot in 1814.
