I'm currently writing up a survey of an  early 20th century navvy 
settlement in the Peak District for land management plans. As part of its 
interpretation I am situating its construction & layout in contemporary & 
19th century social attitudes to navvies, the history of navvy culture & 
social conditions, and the late-19th century industrial model villages such 
as Port Sunlight & Bournville. I would also like to compare the settlement 
with army and prison camps - does anyone know of any archaeological, 
historical or sociological research into such camps that may be of use?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
