Even though I was here 2 years ago now, I hadn't posted it on this forum so here we go. Firstly, some history courtesy of Wiki (have just posted link rather than putting all of that info into this thread but do read it as it's very interesting): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorée

The first 9 pics are of the old hospital - I think it was used up until the 50's but am not entirely sure. Couldn't get any internals as people are actually living in there and it would've been a bit distatsteful somehow. The rest of the pics are of the imfamous salve prisons where hundreds of thousands of slaves ended up from all over Africa ready to be shipped both across the pond and to Europe.

Enjoy!
