Harperley POW Camp 93, has been a feature on the Durham landscape for over 80 years, the site, home to Italian and German soldiers who were interned as POW during WW2. This unique site has been closed to the public for over twenty years until now, when we can offer you the chance to see for yourself this unique and special part of our history and heritage. The camp, was the only one in existence to have a purpose built theatre, which has been preserved to save it from the elements, alongside the "Kanteen" that hosts the original paintings that the interns applied directly to the walls, these are extraordinary works of art that need to be seen to be appreciated. Those staying at Camp 93 sure seemed to know how to do that!
