Secrets of the Old Bailey: Inside the World's Most Famous Court

[@robbojax2025]

I was a frequent visitor (professionally) in the 1970s. My last visit was as a juror a few years ago. The original building is beautiful and it was delight to watch this video.

[@Robslondon]

Lovely comment Robbo, thank you

[@nezbrun872]

I was also a juror here 30 years ago on a murder trial. Back then, as potential jurors, we all assembled on Monday morning in the cafeteria, and made small talk with each other. Famous cricketer Mike Gatting was among us. Then the slow process of jury selection then began. Names were called out by the dozen for each trial. The name "Mike Gatting" was called out, no answer. Then again, "Mike Gatting". Again, no answer. So I'm afraid I just couldn't stop myself, "He's out" I shouted. True story, but sadly not many got the joke.

WOW! This was just superb. I knew the place was interesting, but hadn't thought that much about it. I walked passed once, and there were some press-people by the newer side door. But me and my friends found a pub, can't remember the name, and we were busy. Thanks for the link to the tour. I will definitely take it.

[@paulbagley1020]

Rob, as always, this was truly a treat for us historians. As a former prosecutor on this side of the pond, I am certainly familiar with courtrooms. But I must admit that despite representing the people in criminal cases, I would still feel somewhat intimidated having to present my cases in the trappings of the courtrooms within the Old Bailey. Thanks for tour!

Thank you so much Paul! I’m sure the reverse would be true too for a British lawyer tackling a courtroom on the other side of the Pond 😉

[@liamkatt6434]

Great video Rob. I did court duty there quite a lot between 1979/80. The cells looked just as they do in your pics then. I did No.1 court many times and it was eerie sitting in the dock where so many had been sentenced to death. I was on John Bindon's trial for most days and was present when Bob Hoskins gave his famous testimony. John was an absolute gentleman to deal with.

[@Robslondon]

Wow…. Brilliant comment 😄

[@lordeden2732]

John was Princess Margaret's boy friend and lover.😊

[@kenneth2656]

Bindon was a very dangerous and violent man, he would have been on his best behaviour while on trial at the Old Bailey of course, but meet him on the street or in a pub and it may have been a different story unless he was on form in jovial mood and was performing his party piece with the six half pint beer mugs he would thread over his enormous member.

[@liamkatt6434]

​@@lordeden2732 Many staff and prisoners tried to get him into conversations about that. His response was always the same, a amile and then his back would be turned.

[@liamkatt6434]

@@lordeden2732 That story was widely talked about then 46 years ago. Everyone wanted to know the truth. Many prisoners in HMP Brixton and even staff tried to question John about it, but all they got was a broad grin and then he turned his back on them. A true gent.

Rob Greetings from Thailand not a Sunday video but still received with greatest of interest Recently I was included in a visit to the Old Bailey ( but banned to doing any photography ) shame awesome architecture We did go into number one court , we saw some of the original cells not much bigger than broom cupboards and also the Roman wall in the depths of the basement . During our visit we looked down the alley way of reducing arches You mention the great train robbery the time I was working on a farm the last field of the farm was I think was 5 or 6 fields away Leatherslade farm hideout of great train robbers Thanks again Rob for yet another super video

I went through a phase of going to look at the different remaining sections of the old city walls of London. It is remarkable that there are still bits of it here and there. I'd read that there was still some of it within the 'Old Bailey' and it hadn't all been demolished. Thanks for confirming this and showing a photo of what remains in the basement.

[@Robslondon]

Thanks Paul. I'm hoping to cover all the Roman Wall at some point.

[@JJJulesToo]

Lovely comment, thanks David

[@Evemeister12]

In the old bailey libel trial brought about by Oscar Wilde the defence barrister was Edward Carson, a fellow dubliner who went on to be the founding father of northern ireland in the wake of the irish war of independence. Carson's heartbreak at the loss of the irish free state (the south) meant that he never took up the position of prime minister of northern ireland, instead preferring to return to london/kent where lived out his final years.

[@Robslondon]

Interesting. Thank you.

[@NealMurfitt]

Surely, as water runs downhill, the course of the fleet should be beneath Farringdon St. and New Bridge St. Intruiging. Another great video, Rob.

[@Robslondon]

Thanks Neal- yes, I thought that too… maybe the boiler room is further west? 🤔

[@NealMurfitt]

@Robslondon I think it's more likely to be a tributary. John Rogers did a video near the Old Bailey about such a thing.

[@londonirish11]

Another great video, Rob thank you very much. I did take my mother there once to observe Trials. Sitting in the public gallery I was struck by the fact that the public gallery is so high that you’re looking down on everyone including the judge presiding.

No idea it sits directly on the River Fleet either. I'd love to see something about all the city's old gates if you haven't already. And the courses of the old rivers.
