Visited here early one morning.with a group of us..we got in just before first light.this a really nice place to visit.it has peely paint,lovely staircases,the cells and the courtroom.spent four relaxing hours strolling around here...the courts were built in 1807 originally as a town hall.but was decided that they were too small for the purpose so moved to another part of town.it was then converted to the courthouse..in the early nineties the courts were moved and this had laid derelict for about twenty years..some of the floors in here are now starting to get a little dangerous.

Lovely shots :)
I really like the look of these courts.....i may have booked a hotel in Sheffield for some reason already....
 
Always loved this place, some really dark decayed eerie shots here.
 
Some fantastic shots! Love the lighting on #4, quite spooky.

There is actually an old court house in the next town from me and every time I drive past it I keep thinking to take a peak but it never happens. I don't think it's in as good a condition as this one, but I'll see if I can make time!

Devizes Assize Courts? Last time I went in was about 8 years ago and it was knackered then.

Yes and surprisingly its still standing! We also have a newly abandoned police station which I believe is in desperate need of a visit ;)
 
Great pictures!
The times I've walked past it on the way to the markets. And, of course, in what can be a very busy part of the town centre. Well done!
