Sleeping Rough Trip - Part 2
This place oozed atmosphere, be it the little light that came into this place or the fact I felt I had to stay in one room, while Cunningplan and Blods tripods where down one end of the cells photographing the length, with baited breath I waited to get some shots in, certainly not a good place for 3 of you to move about, with Cunningplans torch waving left to right he was lighting up the rooms I was in, slightly annoying when doing long exposures grrr well in the end I got the shots I wanted, I even went back in when those two left to get a long corridor shot all lite up the way I liked.
I really couldnt imagine sleeping here in those times...
Some history
These cells where for vagrants/tramps/people passing through the town, steal beds and a peephole incase you was naughty.
At the time it was illegal to sleep on the streets, so vagrants had to either rent a room or stay here in the cells if they had no money.
Talks of saving these cells even moving them have fallen flat, the english heritage also refused to help, as apparently it does not follow certain guidlines, despite being apart of the towns history.
The cells are/where set for a future tv series on BBC4's Edwardian season.
