It's fairly common for the Cobra organisation to have regular executions. Especially spies and deserters don't have to count on any sympathy from the commanding officers......
Bodmin Jail dates back to 1776 and was the site of many public executions.
The last hanging took place in 1909 and the Crown Jewels and Doomsday Book were stored at the jail during the First World War.
Built in 1777, completed in 1860, Bodmin Gaol housed over 150 prisoners, with 55 executed through hanging. The Gaol has several claims to historical importance, including being the location of the last public hanging in Britain and as the location of treasures such as the Crown Jewels and the Domesday Book in times of national crisis.
Since the Gaol’s doors shut in 1922 the site has been used as a nightclub, and later a restored public house and museum.
Bodmin Gaol is also famed for its alleged hauntings, attracting the attention of visitors, TV cameras and paranormal investigation organisations. Reported phenomena include apparitions of apparent former prisoners, the hearing of voices and other unexplained noises, light anomalies seen by eye, temperature fluctuations, touching sensations and the sense of oppression.

Holding cell before execution in adjoining room, closed and supposedly unknown to the condemned during his stay. Hard to believe no rumours had revealed this fact. The open door in the rear reveals a hanging noose and a drop. The museum has since projected names and execution dates of those who were hanged on the wall. The prisoner was accompanied by guards who remained with him up to that moment, when they were changed as it was thought spending time with the prisoner could have established relationships. Very disturbing. Crumlin Road Gaol, 1846, Victorian jail, now hosts tours, events, weddings, music, conferences... Belfast, Northern Ireland © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto June 9, 2019.

Professionalism, hard work and thoughtful execution are what

Purchased in 2013, these six French percussion target pistols combine mechanical perfection with extraordinary artistic ingenuity and execution. Specifically designed for display at the great fairs of the second half of the nineteenth century, and yet absolutely functional, these firearms were not intended to be fired but shown and admired for their technological sophistication and their beauty. The acquisition of this group enables the Met to highlight a pivotal moment in the history of European and American gunmaking, when industrial and world fairs that attracted millions of visitors provided unprecedented opportunities for nations, firms, and individuals to showcase their achievements. In the eyes of British and other international commentators, these very pistols spectacularly confirmed that the French were then unsurpassed in their mastery of the gunmaker's art.
The group includes two pairs of pistols stocked in ebony, designed by the versatile ornamentalist and sculptor Michel Liénard (1810–1870), and made by the celebrated Parisian gunmaker Alfred Gauvain (1801–1889). Respectively created for the Exposition des Produits de l'Industrie in Paris in 1844, and for the Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations (also known as the "Crystal Palace exhibition") in London in 1851, these pistols, one pair in the Gothic Revival and the other in the Renaissance Revival style, were praised as works of modern art of impeccable taste and execution. The harmonious integration of the ambitious sculptural decoration of the metal parts and carving of the ebony stocks is unrivaled.
The third set of pistols, which are unique for their all-steel construction, and not an exact pair, were embossed in low relief and chiseled by the virtuoso sculptor and silversmith Antoine Vechte (1799–1868) for the renowned Parisian gunmaker Gilles Michel Louis Moutier-Le Page (1810–1887). Vechte, who immigrated to Great Britain around 1850, may have completed the chiseling of the last pistol in London. One, if not both, was exhibited at the Crystal Palace exhibition in 1851, and repeatedly illustrated in contemporary accounts of the fair, which drew six million visitors.
