The Tate Britain stands on part of the Millbank Prison, the prison was erected in 1816 on ground brought from the Marquess of Salisbury. Designed by Jeremy Bentham and costing £500,000 resembling a fortress. The external walls formed an irregular octagon, which enclosed over sixteen acres of land, and contained accommodation for 1,120 prisoners. It closed it's gates on 6 November 1890 and was pulled down shortly afterwards.

The Morpeth Arms that also stands on the old prison ground, and still has some of the prison cells in the basement.

The cells with not enough room to stand up in, whilst awaiting transportation to Australia.

The dark and dreary passageway that led to the convict ships. There is also a ghost that is said to still haunt these cells that I am told belongs to a convict who died just before being transported to Australia, it has been checked out by the paranormal society who claim that there is a spirit present.…

The last view of prison before the ship.

The River Thames lapping against the stoney beach where the convicts feet touched british soil for the last time before transportation to Australia.

With much thanks to the Morpeth Arms for allowing our cameraman and researcher to enter the underground cells.
