That is beautiful! Thank you for the tour. What is the hideous, monstrously dull box building with gross colours across the street from it? Why did they build that eyesore? It reeks of Communist, hateful of nature and beauty, dull architecture. Why would they barf that onto the street across from such an historic and beautifully built building? Good grief. That sure is UGLY.

The old Bailey is just a crown court and is no more senior than any other crown court It's just more famous The courts of the criminal system are • magistrates court (civil equivalent county court) • Crown court • (civil equivalent high court with *LIMITED* jurisdiction over crown court) • Court of appeal • Supreme Court

[@RB747domme]

Very much enjoyed that Sinead. Just to say, 'Sepulchre' is usually pronounced, Sēppal - ka.

[@RB747domme]

@@Keithbarber she's talking about the actual building. The Old Bailey is where hideous crimes, such as serial killings, famous National prosecutions, and general celebre horriblis crimes are tried. She is correct, in that crown courts tend to be geographically local to the criminal, whereas the old Bailey is the central court for National trials. Listing the levels of judicial court is irrelevant, as they are just non mortar definitions.

[@SteveBuchananArt]

I used to work in the building opposite the courthouse and learnt quite a lot about the area. When the Central Criminal Court was opened by Edward VII in 1907, a lift was installed, still there but not sure if it is still used, as the King was getting a bit portly and would have struggled with the stairs. The stones used in the façade of the courthouse are from the demolished prison and the public house opposite Newgate prison called the 'Magpie and Stump', (a new version of which is still there), used to sell a 'hanging breakfast' which is what it sounded like, you could buy a breakfast and have a window view of a public execution. The execution room is still at the back of the courthouse entered by an ever decreasing series of doorways, and some cells still exist in the basement of the courthouse including the original 'Newgate knocker' where the phrase 'as black as Newgate knocker' comes from.

Good video but some of your information is wrong. You are correct when you said about the last public execution being carried out in 1868 , but you are totally wrong regards the last actual execution being carried out in 1965, and wrong in stating that it took place at the Tower of London. I can advise you that the last Executions that were carried out in the UK were of two criminals convicted of murder furtherence to theft on 13th August 1964, both were hanged at the same time but in seperate prisons. The last person executed at the Tower of London was a German Spy on 15 August 1941, and that was by firing squad.
