  • Bodmin Jail (alternatively Bodmin Gaol) is a historic former prison situated in Bodmin, on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Built in 1779 and closed in 1927, a large range of buildings fell into ruin, but parts of the prison have been turned into a tourist attraction, and more recently another large part was converted into a hotel.
    Bodmin Gaol was designed by Sir John Call and built in 1779 by prisoners of war, and was operational for 150 years, in which it saw over 50 public hangings. It was the first British prison to hold prisoners in individual cells.
    The jail closed in 1927. Since that date, there has been no prison within the county of Cornwall.
    During World War I, the prison was used for holding some of Britain's national treasures including the Domesday Book and the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.

    I've sat and watched this from beginning to end. A nice in depth explore. It's great to see this from your view, and also from Mark's, Ghost Adventures Of Cornwall's paranormal view. Then topped off with drone footage too. Awesome 👍

    Bodmin, my home town. I drive past the jail to the Camel Trail carpark to walk my dogs, Shame about the white elephant of the council owned car park opposite, now closed. It took a lot of open green space we used to walk the dogs on. As for the jail, never been inside.

  • @EMTBAFV
    @EMTBAFV Před 2 lety +1

    Them individual jail rooms could have been waiting cells for going up to the courthouse through that corridor whare the power station thing is now, what's at the other end of the corridor was there a court house next door or round about? These places normally have tunnels running underground to the court's, looks a cool place for a dayout love to see this all up n running!

    Body shaped cages like that at 50:26 would have been used as part an execution practise known as 'Gibbeting', in which after being executed the criminals rotting body would be publicly displayed to try and deter others from criminality.

    And there we go as soon as Andrew from PROVING FAKERY arrives on scene this will now lose all credibility I’m afraid Matt 🤷🏻‍♂️
    he is very dishonest and has had many of his stuff proven to be fake and upset lots and lots of people so that’s me turning over to watch something else.
    Matt we trust you 100% but I wouldn’t put it past him to even hoodwink you he is not a nice soul at all
