Kilmainham Gaol; Dublin, Ireland
Execution site of James Connolly. Mr. Connolly, sentenced to death, was already suffering tremendously from wounds due to fighting doctors gave him only a day or two to survive. Regardless of this, he was taken to Kilmainham Gaol by ambulance, brought in on a stretcher, tied to a chair as he was too weak to stand on his own, and was executed by firing squad. His death caused much uproar and controversy.

Execution Dock was used as a hanging site for over 400 years, and acted as visible warning and deterrent to other seafarers who would pass through the area.
The executioners would not cut down the bodies after hanging but instead the custom was to leave them until at least three tides had flowed over their heads.
The last executions to take place there were in December 1830, where two men who had been charged with piracy met their fate.
Nobody knows the exact location of Execution Dock, but it is believed to be near the site of the Prospect of Whitby pub, where a noose now hangs from the back to commemorate the dock.

(outlaw torn is adjacent to No Salvation and if my draw distance had been set to further out, you'd see the Cathedral in the background. I couldn't do that though, because then you'd see the huge platforms in the sky, where the ballroom is located. I wish those platforms would be set above the maximum draw distance, so photographers aren't bothered by the sight of the sky platforms!)
It marks the place of execution of a Covenanter who was charged with having been engaged in the battle of Bothwell Bridge.
After living out their days in Rondout on the CP, the Highliners have finally been moved to Burr Oak Yard, just before they will be scrapped for good.
Inmates breaking the rules were hanged here. Their hand were tied together at their back, and they were hanged with the back at the pole.
The Execution Trench (indicated by the red arrow) is in a part of the Sachsenhausen camp supposedly nick-named "Station Z" by the SS, as it was the "final stop." More on Station Z, along with a comparison of how this part of the memorial has changed since 1999 can be seen on the highly authoritative scrapbookpages.
The pamphlet/map I brought in the visitor centre says: "In this trench, resistance fighters, conscientious objectors and people sentenced by the Nazis were executed."
This bell was rung outside the condemned cell at Newgate by the Bellman of St Sepulchre at midnight on the eve of an execution.
They had to make their own entertainment in them days!
