Apparently (according to the poster in the toilet) this was voted as the 'most haunted place in the UK' But I didn't get any ghoully vibes!!


Anyway, I know this is a museum and I know some peoples views on posting these type of sites, but it's a little different to what I usually do and armed with an arsenal of flashlights we made the most of it!

----

A bit of blurb about the place

(From Wiki)


----
The courtrooms date back to the 14th century and the gaol dates back to at least 1449. The prisons are still there. There was also a working police station from 1905 to 1985, and the courts closed in 1991.
The museum is housed in what was once a fully functioning Victorian courtroom and claims to be "The only site in the country where you could be arrested, sentenced and executed."
----

We were allowed access to photograph before (and during) a spooky night as we know the event organisers from Drakelow. This gave us a lot of time to set our flashlights up and do more than you usually can in a museum! Where the room lights are not on, the room is lit with torches. Apart from the court room and the main entrance way, most other images are lit by torch.

Who cares what type of site it is if you enjoyed it then thats great - dont do sites for other peoples enjoyment or caring what they think!

It looks great and somewhere i would like to go too. Your pics are top notch too.
