Old Adelaide Gaol

Between the walls, looking toward the tower where the last four executions were carried out in the 50s and sixties. Built 1841. Executed persons (48) were buried "between the walls". Until the completion of the new building, executions were performed on a portable gallows between the walls. Notice the loose bricks on top of the walls to stop escapes.
