EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the Middlesex House of Correction in Clerkenwell, London, as it stood in the late 18th century. Originally opened in 1794 as a House of Correction, this imposing building was later known as Cold Bath Prison and Clerkenwell Gaol. It was a place of punishment for those who had transgressed the law, with a particular focus on housing debtors. The high walls and iron fence surrounding the property speak to the sense of confinement and isolation experienced by those within. The name "Cold Bath" refers to the prison's use of cold baths as a form of punishment and discipline. The inmates were required to take regular baths in cold water as part of their rehabilitation. The Middlesex House of Correction was a significant part of London's historical landscape during the 1790s and beyond. Its closure in 1885 marked the end of an era in the city's criminal justice system. Today, the site is occupied by the Mount Pleasant letter sorting office, a testament to the ever-evolving nature of the area. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the lives of those who once called this place home. The building's grand architecture, with its columns and arches, stands in stark contrast to the harsh realities of life inside. The image serves as a reminder of the complex history of punishment and rehabilitation in London, and the enduring legacy of the Middlesex House of Correction.
