Ruislip, Northwood and Eastcote Local History Society

For our final meeting of the Spring season we are pleased to welcome City of London guide Eleanor Bloom who will tell us about Newgate Prison which was situated at the corner of Newgate Street and Old Bailey Street just inside the City of London, by a gate in the Roman London Wall. For much of its history, a succession of criminal courtrooms were attached to the prison, commonly referred to as the “Old Bailey”. The present Old Bailey now occupies much of the site of the prison.Visitors are welcome (£3 donation). Any changes to these arrangements will be posted on the RNELHS website.
