We will be investigating Derby Gaol of 1828

The old "Derby Gaol" can be found under numbers 50 and 51 Friargate  in Derby. It is said to be one of the most haunted spots in the country.

The jail ("gaol" is an old-fashioned variant of the word) was used  between 1756 and 1828 and was originally (it's believed) two separate  cell blocks - in fact, it's thought the facilities could continue under  neighbouring properties, too).

It is now a museum and much of the jail has been restored to its former condition.

Whilst the jail was being worked on, clues were found as to what some  of the cells may have been used for in the past. For example, marks on  the inside of the door of the debtor's cell refer to money and amounts  to be paid. There are gallows outside the entrance - a timely reminder  of past events. With such a rich history it comes as no surprise that some of the formr residents may still linger. Join us to find out if we can make contact with them!
