Harperley POW Camp 93 is a surviving purpose-built World War II Prisoner of War camp built to accommodate up to 1400 Prisoners of War at Fir Tree near Crook, County Durham in the North-East of England. A work camp for low risk PoW's, built on a hillside overlooking Weardale and across the valley from Hamsterley Forest, it was built, initially, in 1943 by Italian Prisoners of War to similar plans of other existing Ministry of War Standard Camps of World War II in Britain and typical of many military installations around the war-torn country. It is the main camp for a number of satellite camps numbered 93. Nearby Bishop Auckland used Harperley PoW's and Oaklands Emergency Hospital also as Camp 93.
