Bodmin Jail, Cornwall, UK. Built in 1779 .These images are of the Naval Prison section. Very atmospheric, apparently haunted!


Bodmin Jail, (Goal,) situated on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK. The jail was designed by Sir John Call and built by slave labour in 1779. It closed fully in 1927. Part of the jail is now a tourist attraction, with cell "sets" recreating some of the notorious inmates. These images are of the partly derelict Naval Prison, a separate part of the jail. Said to be one of the most haunted sites in Britain, it has a distinctly spooky and depressing atmosphere!
