A little slice of the history of Edinburgh, the Governor’s House on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. / Looking quite medieval, this is actually an early 19th century structure, the remains of the old Calton Gaol, a prison that was once on the historic hill. / Atmospheric evening fog and illumination came together to make this something special. Available as cards and a variety of prints – if interested in cards, on the preview page, please try with “black backing” as the artist intends.
It took so long to get this shot…I was waiting and waiting for a moment when all the tourists were looking in the cells and not wandering around on the ground level…but finally….for a second it was empty…. /

Model: Naomi A fav of mine Naomi. ;o) See Misjudgement in this series.
I noticed that all around the gaol walls were consecutive numbers painted in large writing, I wondered why, I was told that if a guard went on duty he could radio back to base with an exact position of his where abouts…they are like grid references
I balanced my camera on a rail to take this since I didn’t have my tripod with me. There was a really ominous feeling here and both my daughter and I were pleased to leave! But I have seen so many fabulous photos of this gaol…I just had to have one for my collection.
Like an enormous spine… / / But it wasn’t all doom and gloom today, there was time for a bit of dressing up…replica Ned Kelly armour is kindly provided… /

Adelaide Gaol – located Adelaide, South Australia This gaol contains some of the oldest remaining colonial public buildings in Adelaide. Between its opening in 1840 and closure in 1988, the Adelaide Gaol housed approximately 300,000 prisoners. Between 1840 and 1964 there were 45 executions at Adelaide Gaol including one woman, Elizabeth Woolcock. Prior to November 1840, executions in Adelaide were held in public in the park lands or at the North Terrace Barracks. Architecturally the Adelaide Gaol is important, for until 4 February 1988 when if officially closed, it was the oldest radially designed gaol remaining in use in Australia.
Take the p* out of the prison service. Wear one of these ‘Property of Corrective Services’ T-shirts and everyone will think you’re stolen it. Worse, that you’re an escaped convict. Got to be a laugh.

Well not quite a ‘liberty bell’ in the American Civil War sense. The daily schedule in the Adelaide Gaol in South Australia ran to strict times which were signified by the ringing of the gaol bell which was a gift to the colony in 1837. It was also rung slowly and continuously during hangings, so in a way it was a ‘liberty bell’ for those who went to the gallows. The gaol which opened in 1841 replaced a two roomed stone building in the Adelaide parklands which housed prisoners and was known as the ‘Stone Jug’. This was secured only by a wooden paling fence which did not prevent prisoners from escaping or prisoners and their guards from getting drunk on grog passed through the fence. Between its opening in 1841 and closure in 1988, the Adelaide Gaol housed approximately 300,000 prisoners.
This picture was taken in Dublin, Ireland at the Kilmainham Gaol. This was the prison that the leaders of the Easter Revolution were taken to in the 1900’s. The graffiti was written by Padraig Pearse, one of the leaders of the revolution and reads: “Beware the Risen People that have Harried and Held, Ye that have Bullied and Bribed” The Gaol is now abandoned and no longer used as a jail, but they do offer tours.
on the tour of crumlin road gaol we were shown where the people were hung and taken to the room below where the body fell through the trap door, the cell next door held the coffin…this is the cell..it was pretty chilly
toilet slus…think its where prisoners had to empty their buckets
