Brutal Execution
Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

A Frith's Series postcard which was posted in Bexhill-on-Sea on Monday the 25th. April 1921 to:

The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Your card was sent to me here.
Sister Monica and I came last
Wed. The countryside and sea
are very beautiful.
We can lie in bed and watch the
waves.
Will write you on my return.
We are here for a week.
So surprised you were having
your holiday.
Fondest love, Frank.
p.s. I think I am better, but have
now to go to dentist to have five
teeth out this week.
We nearly went to Brighton.
Goodbye".
Great War Reparations
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 25th. April 1921, the Allied Reparations Commission demanded that Germany deposit one billion marks worth of gold into the Bank of France by the 30th. April.
Nebraska Property Ownership
Also on that day, the U.S. state of Nebraska prohibited persons other than U.S. citizens from acquiring property. The law did not affect property already owned by alien residents.
The Execution of Thomas Traynor
The 25th. April 1921 also marked the execution of Thomas Traynor of the Irish Republican Army.
He was hanged at the age of 39 at Mountjoy Prison in Dublin after conviction by a British Army court-martial of the ambush of two British cadets on the 14th. March.

A memorial erected by survivors; the original was dismantled. The windows in the building on the left were blocked out to prevent other camp residents from seeing the medical experiments conducted on young girls there.
A glum looking Manchester City Police officer stares at the camera while on duty outside the gates of the city’s Strangeways Prison sometime in the early years of the 20th century.
In the years between 1900 and the outbreak of the Second World War more than 50 people were executed within the prison’s walls.
Albert Pierrepoint, perhaps Britain’s best known hangman, executed 14 people in the gaol.
The final person executed at Strangeways was Gwynne Owen Evans, who was hanged on the 13th of August 1964.
It was the custom of the prison governor to put up a notice in the prison gates once an execution had taken place. Police officers would be posted to ensure there were no disturbances by or between members of the public, the family of the executed person, or the family of the victim.

You should call 101, the new national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
The collection of diesels as the temporary allocation of the 330/474 is largely comprised of E’s, but a few WVL’s are also used. Most are from the 11 reg batch last used on the D7, but an older one is WVL293.
This one was displaced from the 321 at New Cross in early 2023, but together with sister WVL294 it avoided the chop thanks to being sent to Northumberland Park to cover for a couple of 476 allocated WVN’s which had met premature ends.
WVL293 is seen at Beckton Bus Station, running about 10 minutes late after the wheelchair ramp had a hissy fit just after I boarded at North Woolwich.
The first cascaded WHV’s (from the 188) are finally starting to arrive, so the conversation might take place soon.
WVL294 is still in the fleet too, helping out at Bexleyheath pending electrics. 2.10.25.

Death sentences usually took place at night, starting from 22:00. The sentenced inmate was taken from the cell to the execution chamber with hands in handcuffs or tied up. In the execution chamber, a Cheka officer would stand next to the door; then, he fired a shot to the forehead.
The walls of the execution chamber were covered with wooden panels and additional layers of rubber-coated fabric. A hole in the room’s corner collected the blood of the person executed. The doors had extra noise isolation material to muffle the sound of the shots. Moreover, a truck engine kept running straight outside the room.
Afterward, the KGB officers wrapped the dead bodies and buried them in the forest.
Terezin execution grounds
Executions of prisoners in the Small Fortress began in 1943. A total of 250 to 300 prisoners were shot dead without a court sentence. The biggest execution took place on May 2, 1945. As many as 52 people, mostly members of the Czech resistance groups (e.g. Predvoj or Vanguard) were killed. The gallows were used just once for the hanging of 3 prisoners. A passageway through the embankment leads to the mass graves.
