3 things worth shouting about:
Suitable for: Ages 6 and up
The details at the museum can get quite gory so may not be best for younger kids.
This is the place for you if you're into gory history. The layout was great and really informative.
You can get a photo at the end and download it for free - well worth doing.
You’ve heard of someone being ‘thrown in the clink’, right? This is where the nickname came from.
Nowadays, it’s a museum – not a working prison – that gives you an idea of what it was like for the people locked up here. Thieves, prostitutes, you name it. Buy Clink Prison Museum tickets and see it all for yourself.
It dates back to 1144 when the treatment of prisoners was much more, ahem, brutal. The torture instruments on display are enough to prove that. Like the iron maiden, a metal coffin with razor-sharp spikes designed to crush convicts to death. Shudders
The cells aren’t much nicer than the torture chamber. The replica prison cell with its stark bare walls and clanking chains might make death-by-spikes sound appealing compared to a life sentence.
So, here’s an ‘alternative’ parenting tip – if your little darlings have been playing up recently, threatening to leave them in this hellhole usually makes them change their tune. For a while at least.
