(8-3-2001) East end of Belle Isle viewed from the north bank near Tredegar. The site of the prison was directly under the highway

(Wartime Photo) Belle Isle from the north bank. The buildings were used by guards and for administration of the prison. The earth wall of the prison is visible at the foot of the hill near the center of the photo

    

(8-3-2001) Looking across the island from the north side. The remnants of the wall of the camp is just behind the sign (with bushes), main gate at left. The wall was very short - it was used as a "dead line" rather than a barrier
