Pingley Farm PoW Camp No. 81, Lincolnshire

These photos were sent to me by colleague and fellow PoW researcher Andrew.
The camp was built for 750 prisoners. The guards' compound was originally tented, but later replaced by 15 Ministry of War Production Standard 18' 6" huts. There were approx. 35 huts in the prisoners compound, a mixture of 10-bay MoWP huts and 8 Laing timber huts with bituminised corrugated iron.
These are general views of the camp-
