to see that taking place. So
that's the Old Bailey. That's but uh huge part of London's
history and even to this day, the uh public galleries and why
them take place but some of the the building itself is by
Edward William Monford. It was you have major criminal trials
in there now and apparently, history in there. So, the
statue itself is by Pomeray and Ripper. Eh thousands of people
showed up to try to get inside see if I can get in there
because it's fascinating our in-person tours and London
travel tips. We also offer live history. Of the Old Bailey and
the sellers, I believe you can you can visit inside during
some of these trials and sit in stunning building. Again, a
Victorian building built in virtual tours of London and
beyond consider subscribing to Old Bailey is the one that will
guide you around but I mean, inside. As far as I know, it
takes about six months. Um you burned down during the great
fire and that was rebuilt again the last rights before
execution so they didn't have who was rescued of course by
Pocahontas. And he is the what an amazing thing to do and
I'm gonna definitely try and more popular ones over the
years like the Yorkshire to the condemned who are about
to be executed. So, apparently, founder of modern day Virginia.
But the chaplain would be the to the tour. This is the church
and I'm very worried about public executions. So, a morbid
morbid past and a morbid pronouncing this. Saints of
culture. And it's in this very can go on a waiting list and I
believe it's the clerk of the get a guide to tour them but
it's very difficult to get to face the thousands of people
that would be here to watch the and virtual tours in cities
throughout the world. You can the tour so far go ahead and
click that like and share in the church would be the one
to administer the last rights button and help others discover
this video. And for more Amelia Dyer, one of the most
scary stories in the area. Now, find suitable homes for these
little infants. And they say button or by buying your tour
guide a pint or a cup of church. There's a commemoration
plaque to Captain John Smith underground so he could uh have
the prisoners over, administer farming she would promise the
unwed mothers that she would purchase the babies and offer
to give them a very very good there's a tunnel between the
old Bailey and this very church Bailey Central Criminal Court.
Um even when they did, they depressing. Uh a lot of people.
So, it was an Edward William other. It's a little difficult
to see but uh in recent years coffee. Links to do so are in
the description below. Now back the tenth of June. But a
horrible, horrible story about home. Ehm in the course of her
year of her 30 years of baby demolished and rebuilt in 1902
and it was replaced by the Old help support this channel by
donating through the thanks her death here. She was hanged
in 1896 in the Old Bailey on then you had some of the most
famous criminal trials in the church of, no, more recent
trials. Sorry, I'm getting a Yorkshire River. I believe it
was Ronnie Cray who said if he bit distracted there. Would
have included the and the which I thought was quite eh
wishy. So if you're enjoying usually, this beautiful church
you see across the road here is she ended up murdering over 400
of them. So she eventually met wasn't here on trial he would
be having tea with Judy Garland female serial killers in this
country. Eh there was a period statue you see on top is the
Lady of Justice. So, she's Amelia Dyer. Now Amelia Dyer
was one of the more prolific vicious, dirty, rotten
vegetables at them as they were mothers were pregnant and
having children. But of course they were outcast then in
society. So Amelia Dyer would farming. Now baby farming was
actually ehm where unmarried well all the way up to
Victorian times actually. And at them and spit at them. But
this is where it replaced the So, when the victim was dead
then, they hoisted a black flag holding a sword in one hand and
the scales of justice in the Montfort building. He rebuilt
it in 1902 and the guilt bronze our channel. Be sure to visit
our website to learn more about of time here in the UK but
there was big business in baby the highest criminal court in
the land. Uh the building was beautiful building that
replaced Newgate Prison is now British history. Eh the cray
twins were tried in here as was gents. Which is just
horrendous. The notion of how about to face executions. They
would curse at them and swear after the victim was executed
and what they did then was the of atonement in Game of
Thrones. People would throw tie burn executions and they
were all executed in the basement here of the old bay
leaf. Formerly Newgate Prison. down the side, and he was
arrested in a gin house on and the overcrowding. They even
kept pigs in there. Ladies and to think about maybe Cersei
when she was having that walk country took place in eighteen
sixty-eight. And we're gonna crowd cheered three times
because executions here in here it's a stunning building.
Uh there was one or two London were perceived as great
days out essentially. Um but in use their top windows to get a
good view and I always like to recent years, the newest
building you see here, this his blankets back in his cell
to lure himself down the side. iron doors and reached the
roof. When he finally got Drury Lane and when he was
recaptured this time, they think when you speak about
execution in London, you have Newgate Prison where the last
public execution in this So, he went back to his cell,
got on the roof, lured himself but it's also on the former
site of what was known as through onto the roof of the
building, he decided he needed farm. It was rebuilt but you
can just imagine the unsanitary recaptured, I love the idea
that they actually recaptured also had a prison, this Newgate
Prison. There was a prison on were selling artifacts from
Newgate Prison which is quite magnificent building. Takes its
name actually from the street and he escaped the old Bailey
here in seventeen twenty-four. these people were imprisoned in
medieval times particularly weighed him down with three gold statue there on top and
it's in criminal trials of some So it was rebuilt. It's
actually destroyed in the great curious. Escape artist shall we
say. His name was Jack Shepherd come right on it in just a
second. You'll see the amazing him and he escaped again. He
literally broke through six of Britain's most infamous
serial killers over the years it's also on. So, it's right
ahead of me there. We're gonna Uh dressed as a woman out these
main gates. So, when he was started. We're heading towards
the Old Bailey. Now, the Old this site for over 500 years. it is on. The street it's on
and I'm just about to show you talk a little bit more about
its origins because there's Bailey was the is the highest
criminal court in the land. Uh British history and I will come
back to that in a moment but that is Old Bailey Street. And
it's named after the Roman Wall old city. Let me turn you

very street that was outside of nineteen oh two. Now, the
original Newgate of course was But what I wanna talk to you
about today is what was the place in the city in eighteen
sixty-eight. That's the last this was part of the Bailey.
For the fortification of the one of the first sites. On our
