Cold

The Richmond Gaol is a convict era building and tourist attraction in Richmond, Tasmania, and is the oldest intact gaol in Australia. Building of the gaol commenced in 1825, and predates the establishment of the penal colony at Port Arthur in 1833. One of the tasks completed by the convicts who were held at Richmond Gaol was the construction of Richmond Bridge.

Most of the gaol buildings have not been changed since convict times. They include an example of a female solitary confinement cell, measuring 2 metres (6.6 ft)s by 1 metre (3.3 ft)

The buildings include a chain gang sleeping rooms, a flogging yard, a cook house and holding rooms. The buildings also feature historical relics and documents

But I DID make it out to here. In fact sommmeeewhere in the thousands of unprocessed images I'm pretty sure that I too took a shot from that very spot, albeit 7 years earlier.

Great image with a fabulous inside looking out composition. It sounds like it was quite the terrible place in its heyday. ~BV~

Those old paving stones could certainly tell many a sad tale.

This does look old. Love the composition with the layered doorways and the worn look of the passageway. V.

A nice look through the open door. Excellent exposure for the difficult light. V

The contrast of light and shadows is well handled...a cell 2x1 metre would certainly make the prisoner claustrophobic...V
