Newgate Jail - London’s Hell on Earth
Manage episode 354097310 series 2990772
For 700 years Newgate Jail was the darkest, dirtiest and most miserable dungeon in London. We uncover some of its terrible and terrifying prison stories: from cannibals to the fearsome ghost of a black dog; from a boy chimney sweep sent to hang at Tyburn, to a world-famous novelist imprisoned for his ideas. Hear about London’s Georgian Mafia boss, and the man who inspired Dickens’ Fagin. Songs, stories and strange tales in this prison podcast.
