I know I’m 9yrs late on this but I’ve just stumbled across it!
FYI:
1 - Cumbria not Lancashire
13 - Cumbria not Wales
76 - Cumbria not Cumberland
103 - Cumbria not Northumbria
104 - Cumbria not Westmorland

LOL. Shap Fells Camp is also one of the odd ones that had more than one number. It was also Camp 15...which is confusing as Donaldson's School was also Camp 15...and Donaldson's School was also Camp 12 ...and Elmfield Camp was also Camp 12!

It would have been useful to know the source of the list in the OP as it doesn't match Roger Thomas' 'full'* list published by English Heritage in 2003

*which isn't close to being 'all' PoW camps as the nerwspapers claimed at the time.

Glad to read this! I know of one local to me that still (barely) survives and is numbered far higher than that list would allow for.

Highest number I can think of, in Great Britain, without checking is 1026. That said, not all numbers appear to have been used and many camps weren't numbered. Also add in satellite camps which sometimes had a suffix to the main number (eg. Hednesford was Camp 701 but there were 701-A9, 701-G30 and others).

Cool list. Was it camps that were still in existence at the time of posting? There is one near me, Weston Crewe I can't see it on the list. The landowner is the most pissed off person I've ever met. And there was also a long gone camp in Waterden Road E15 (London). I use to club there (Power House) and had no idea there was a camp on the site until a totally random chat a few months ago. Its now part of the olympic park.

Edit: the second is on the list, Carpenters Road, Stratford, East London E15.
