Galleries of Justice (Night Time Visit) - Nottingham - Jan 2011

We went down last night to get some shots whilst a ghost hunting group had access to the building.

Apparently (according to the poster in the toilet) it 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."

D-UK

What a fabulous building. Second pic is a stormer

Nice pics there

Great pics D-Uk. When I was a student living in the city where this is many moons ago, a local resident once told me that those underground bits dated back to Saxon times (when the city was amusingly known by the name of Snotyngham, literally, the town belonging to Snot). I wonder if this is true?
