Oh gawd, not another holiday post...........
My daughter Nieve wanted to visit Bodmin Jail, she fancies being a prison guard when she leaves school, for some reason???
Down in the cells, they used to house 8 people at a time, men, women, children, murderers, rapists the lot!
A cell for the posher folk.
A model of the prison
Looks painful!
A Plague Doctor, I seem to remember Michael Awdry from 28mm Victorian Warfare, painting up some figures like these a few years ago.
Graffitii
The beast of Bodmin
After Bodmin Jail, we visited Jamaica Inn
Loads on Daphne du Maurier, of course, but they do have a small Smugglers museum.
I'd been a bad bad boy!
Oh, your family as so lucky Ray, having you drag them round all these historic sights on their holidays! The Bodmin Gaol does look like a nice old building to be fair
ReplyDeleteIt was Keith, but you're right, they are lucky, we could have been sitting on the beach doing bugger all like the previous day.
DeleteFinally, you've been placed where you belong!! I'm with Nieve. Prisons are great to visit, and Bodmin looked great.
ReplyDeleteHow tempted were your family to leave you in the stocks?
I know some Rejects that might deserve to go in them... say no names!
They each bought a padlock from the shop, but I was too quick for them Rich!!! And yes no names mentioned......postie, cough,cough!
DeleteWhat a great place! Could have really done with the Plague Doctor reference back in the day too. Lovely post Ray.
ReplyDeleteI bet!
DeleteInteresting sites and great photos Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteJust the sort of place I'd like to visit whilst on holiday. GReat photos
ReplyDeleteGlad you like then Joe.
DeleteGlad you didn't get lost on the moor. It's some place in the night, and that's on the main road!
ReplyDeleteIt's very bleak!
DeleteDid they leave you there?
ReplyDeleteQuite a lot to see in one prison.
Think they wanted too?
DeleteSo your family sent you to Jail?
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteGreatly enjoy posts like these. We have been to Cornwall but missed the jail. Perhaps a excuse to go back?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan.
DeleteLol. The pic of you in the stocks is priceless.
ReplyDelete😀
Indeed it is.
DeleteAnother nice travelogue Ray, and at least your family weren't pelting you with fruit.
ReplyDeleteThat was after the photo Lawrence.
DeleteI made prison guard at Barlinnie and left the door open when I left. Thankfully didn’t take the offer up. Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteCheers George!
DeleteNow you've got yourself a stock photo to use (sorry, couldn't help it).
ReplyDeleteOh dear Ed, Oh very dear!
DeleteLooks like a grand day out !
ReplyDeleteCertainly was Dave.
DeleteLove that last picture. Very appropriate. 🤣
