Court
Over 6000 men, women and children were tried in this room. We have records of every person who
was imprisoned.
The room itself is spectacular, with its high roof and central podium for the Judge, but it is the superb
models and soundtrack that bring the court to life.
Even for visitors who have been before it is sometimes impossible to tell who are visitors and who
are not!
The soundtrack is based on the transcripts of real trials held in the courtroom.
Did You Know?Two prisoners walked away in the middle of the night. The lock on their door was faulty and while the warder, in the adjoining cell, was asleep, they left the prison. They escaped through an opening in the boundary wall guarded by a bulldog also asleep!
