... following on from the Shoutbox and the demise of poor Poldark in Truro Gaol thought I'd start a thread as a kind of alternative to the obvious tourist spots to visit. The castles and stately homes are all well and good to visit but it's the lesser known,quirky,weird places that I find even more interesting. Abandoned hospitals and the old lunatic asylums for instance. Need help so post away ...not just the UK. For instance, those places in America where you drive for mile to see the "Worlds Largest Ball Of String" BODMIN GAOLIt's not unknown but it's not on the top ten of places to visit in the UK but it should be. it's the most atmospheric,strange,authentic - nothings been updated, creepy place I have ever been. i62.images obliterated by tinypic/2ykxlaq.jpg[/IMG] i59.images obliterated by tinypic/b7nh5k.jpg[/IMG] i57.images obliterated by tinypic/dxfsi9.jpg[/IMG] "Now I'm old and I sit land-locked in a back-country jail to reflect on all of my sins..."Even the walk up to it is scary i62.images obliterated by tinypic/e6cfaf.jpg[/IMG] www.bodminjail.org/
