Accommodating Prisoners of War: A Survey of the Weston Hostel
ABSTRACT Prisoner-of-war camps were one of the most numerous types of military sites to be established in Britain during the Second World War and yet are one of the least studied. Most comprised a series of temporary huts that were erected from prefabricated components, and whilst some were put to new uses following the war most have now been cleared. The former Weston Hostel near Crewe in Cheshire is one such camp that appears to have originally comprised 35 huts of which 23 survived to varying degrees in 2019, when the site was subject to an archaeological survey prior to its clearance in advance of a housing development. All of the huts were either Curved Asbestos or Nissen Bow types, and were recorded using the latest survey technologies, providing a valuable archive for future research into this diminishing monument type.
期刊介绍:
Industrial Archaeology Review aims to publish research in industrial archaeology, which is defined as a period study embracing the tangible evidence of social, economic and technological development in the period since industrialisation, generally from the early-18th century onwards. It is a peer-reviewed academic journal, with scholarly standards of presentation, yet seeks to encourage submissions from both amateurs and professionals which will inform all those working in the field of current developments. Industrial Archaeology Review is the journal of the Association for Industrial Archaeology. Published twice a year, the focal point and common theme of its contents is the surviving evidence of industrial activity.
