Plan of Norman Cross barracks and prison in 1813
Norman Cross Prison in Huntingdonshire, England, was the world's first purpose-built prisoner-of-war camp[1] or "depot". Constructed in 1796–97, it was designed to hold prisoners of war from France and its allies during the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. By 1816, it had been largely demolished.
Norman Cross, now in Cambridgeshire, lies south of Peterborough, between the villages of Folksworth, Stilton and Yaxley. The junction of the A1 and A15 roads is here. Traditionally in Huntingdonshire, Norman Cross gave its name to one of the hundreds of Huntingdonshire and, from 1894 to 1974, to Norman Cross Rural District.
