This photo was made inside of Old Melbourne Gaol. Visitors today are cautioned to watch their step but how was it for inmates 100 years ago while they were waiting to be hanged?
=============================================================================
Melbourne Gaol (more commonly known as The Old Melbourne Gaol) is a prison located in Russell Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It consists of a bluestone building and courtyard and is located next to the old City Police Station and City Courts buildings (both now occupied by the RMIT University).
Built in 1864 the gaol was the setting for 135 hangings, the most infamous being that of bushranger Ned Kelly in 1880. The jail was closed in 1926. |
