Beneath the cover of darkness on a cold October night in 1925, the bodies of 12 executed men were quietly moved from the yard of the newly-closed Newcastle Prison and reburied in All Saints Cemetery in Jesmond. This haunting event marked a poignant chapter in the intriguing tale of Newcastle Prison. Once celebrated as a cutting-edge facility designed by acclaimed architect John Dobson, the prison opened its doors in 1828 to much fanfare. However, it quickly became infamous for its overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. By the time it closed its doors in 1925, it was deemed a dismal failure, and today, no trace of the once-prominent structure remains.
Written on the 100th anniversary of the closure of Newcastle Prison, this book invites you to explore hidden stories and rare images from the lives of those incarcerated, and the staff, who lived and worked within its walls. During its years of operation, the Prison housed thousands of men, women, and children, enduring a harsh environment marked by severe punishment. You will meet the individuals who navigated life behind bars, find out about heartbreaking narratives from the women’s wing, uncover the mystery of the missing executed bodies, and learn about audacious escape attempts.
Featuring remarkable stories, alongside specially commissioned and never-before-seen 3D modelled images of the prison, the book draws on detailed archival research and the latest digital techniques to offer a unique and revealing insight into the prison's architectural and social development, vividly bringing the past to life.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
