Clink Prison Museum

Clink Prison Museum

1144. The original slammer that gave its name to all the clinks that followed. 600 years of puritans, prostitutes, plotters, priests, heretics and Jesuits, many of them shamed, blamed & even executed in public. The gaolers were bent and took bribes to loosen irons and smuggle in women.

 

Shakespeare’s pal did time here, as you can too, in the museum.
