Re: Bodmin Jail, Cornwall, UK
Below are all images i took myself. They are high quality so please click them.
Read about Bodmin jail here: http://www.bodminjail.org/about-the-jail/

Bodmin Jail (alternatively Bodmin Gaol) is a historic former prison situated in Bodmin, on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Built in 1779 and closed in 1927, the large range of buildings is now largely in ruins, although parts of the prison have been turned into a tourist attraction.

The first hanging was apparently in 1785, but the finishing date of the jail was in 1788. Executioners were paid about £10 a hanging. The last person to be hanged was in 1909.
The jail closed in 1927. Since that date, there has been no prison within the county of Cornwall.
The grounds:
