Crumlin Road Gaol, also known as Crumlin Road Jail, is a former prison located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The prison was built in the mid-19th century and operated until its closure in 1996. The prison was known for its harsh conditions and was used to house both male and female prisoners, including political prisoners during the Troubles.
The prison is a large, imposing structure with high walls and watchtowers. The main entrance is a large gatehouse with a clock tower and a statue of a female figure representing Justice. Inside the prison, there are several cell blocks, each with multiple levels of cells. The cells are small and cramped, with only a bed and a toilet. The prison also has a chapel, a hospital, and a kitchen.
One of the most notable features of the prison is the tunnel that runs underneath the prison. The tunnel was used to transport prisoners from the courthouse to the prison without them being seen by the public. The tunnel is now open to the public as part of the prison tour.
The prison has a dark history, with many stories of violence, riots, and executions. The prison was also the site of several escapes, including one in 1981 when 38 prisoners escaped through a hole in the roof.
Today, the prison is open to the public as a museum and tourist attraction. Visitors can take a guided tour of the prison, including the cell blocks, the tunnel, and the execution chamber. The prison also hosts events and exhibitions, including art exhibitions and concerts.
Overall, Crumlin Road Gaol is a fascinating and haunting place with a rich history. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of Northern Ireland or the prison system.
