EDITORS COMMENTS
Newgate Prison Closed: A Historical Moment Captured in 1903 Newgate Prison, once a notorious symbol of London's criminal past, stood empty and forlorn in 1903 as its doors were about to be permanently closed. The prison, which had seen the confinement of notorious criminals such as Dick Turpin and the Kray twins, was no longer in use and was to be auctioned off in pieces. The historic prison, located in Old Bailey, had been in operation since the 12th century and had undergone numerous expansions and renovations throughout the centuries. However, by the early 1900s, it had become outdated and overcrowded, and a new prison, Pentonville, had been built to replace it. The auction of Newgate Prison was a significant event in British history, marking the end of an era. The prison's gates, once a symbol of fear and intimidation, were now being sold to the highest bidder. The auction included various lots such as prison doors, windows, and even the gallows, which had been used for executions. The photograph captures the moment of transition, with the prison's grand entrance adorned with auction notices, and the crowd of onlookers gathered outside, eager to witness a piece of history being made. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the prison's past and the changing times, as well as the cyclical nature of history. The auction of Newgate Prison was a turning point in the history of British prisons, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Today, the site of the prison is home to the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, and the Royal Courts of Justice, serving as a reminder of the prison's rich history and the importance of remembering the past.
