(I have moved my bibliography from another thread, so that it will be easier for people to find and use.)
I have been compiling bibliography related to WWI enemy alien internments in Britain, with specific reference to German aliens, although you will find things here about other nationalities as well. They are in no particular order.

The hidden history is that of the internment of Germans at Ally Pally in WW1. I think there might be some names and photos, but I have not seen the book yet.

Continuing the bibliography... (too large for single post.)
Schimming, Otto. 13 Monate hinter dem Stacheldraht: Alexandra Palace, Knockaloe ... Stratford, etc. (13 Months behind Barbed Wire: Alexandra Palace, Knockaloe... Stratford, etc.) pp. 32. Stuttgart, 1919. ('Stacheldraht' = 'barbed wire')
Quin, Malcolm. Friends and Enemies. n.d. This one reflects the experience of the Friends (Quakers) Emergency Committee which tried to help out the aliens during WW2. I don't yet know whether it ever got past the manuscript stage and into publication, but it did exist. I have not been able to find it anywhere. Is referenced on p.10 of St. Stephen's House. If anyone ever finds this, please please send me a PM. Thanks.
Graves, Robert. Goodbye to All That. Graves was the officer in charge of the camp at Lancaster. See chapter 10, where he verifies that children were interned.
Prisoners of War Information Bureau. List of Places of Internment. apparently this is or was available from the Imperial War Museum in London. It may be a government document, but I am not sure. "Prisoners of War Information Bureau" may be the author rather than part of the title, but I am not sure. I have not seen it.

Not yet! But that doesn't mean it didn't exist.
There was one at Holloway prison in WW2 though; it was used for women aliens. Does that ring a bell? Perhaps it was used in WW1 as well; I don't know.
I will keep an eye out for your holywell, and will post if I find a reference to it.

I don't know of anything off-hand, but you could join the Anglo-German FHS, and they might know; for a fee, they will search their records for your ggf. Some of the camps in WW1 were really fly-by-night, and records are scarce to non-existent. They would often just commandeer some building or even placed people on farms to get them out of sight. You may very well find something in one of these books, however. Good luck! Last resort is the Red Cross in Geneva, who may have a record of where your ggf was, but they are expensive. It's probably easier to search for a name than a place.
You could also try whatever local history organizations exist in the redcar area; some old-timer there might remember.
The librarian/archivist at the historical site on the Isle of Man is helpful, and may know.
