Former HMP Shrewsbury Prison, The Dana, Shrewsbury SY12HP

Well this foreboding building needs no introduction, however just to give you a taster. For many years, Shrewsbury Prison was a place of execution, which in older times was carried out in public and drew huge crowds in an unwholesome festive atmosphere. People used to turn up early to make sure they got a good place and posters were produced as souvenirs. Shrewsbury’s last public hanging was on April 9th 1868 when 35-year-old John Mapp was executed for the murder of a 9-year-old girl, just one month before the end of public executions in England. From 1902-1961, there were eight executions at Shrewsbury Prison. On the 9th February 1961, 21-year-old George Riley was executed by hanging for the murder of a 62-year-old woman. This would be the last execution to take place at Shrewsbury Prison before this form of capital punishment was abolished in 1969. During redevelopment in 1972, the remains of ten prisoners executed at Shrewsbury Prison were dug up. Nine of those prisoners were unrecognisable and were subsequently cremated. The remaining prisoner was identified as George Riley, where his remains were handed over to his relatives. We have the opportunity to see what goes on after dark, and we cant wait ! Note: This maybe a problem with people with mobility problems due to stairs and distance
