Stock Photo - Interior view of the Old Newgate Prison in the City of London, showing the Scaffold or Gallows, which was moved here from Tyburn in 1783.

The prison was in use (with various rebuilding and extension) for over 700 years, from 1188 to 1902. The prison was demolished in 1904, and the Central Criminal Court (also known as the Old Bailey) now stands upon the site. (2 of 6)
