Inside the cooks kitchen.
The bread bin.
Well worn steps.
To clean the boots outside the gaol.
The keys to the goal.

Richmond Gaol, (2) Tasmania
Most of these prisoners stole a piece of bread or some small item
back in England, Ireland and Scotland, and were sent to Sydney in New
South Wales and Tasmania.
Families often followed if money could be raised for their passage.
Britain wanted to fill the New Land with their subjects.
In the building below at Richmond Gaol back in the early 1800's there were a few small dark rooms to house the prisoners who needed to be shackled.
The photo of the floor with glass, that is a tunnel dug by prisoners who wished to escape.

Prison cells which are dark, no light at all.
