Over the centuries, many hundreds have expired inside dank, rat-infested cells, or while \"dancing the Tyburn jig\" at the end of a swinging rope, and many of the sites have become bywords for infamy. From the Tower and Newgate prison to the Clink and the Fleet, this book explores London's criminal heritage; including the stocks and pillories that lie, almost forgotten, in churchyards and squares across the city, it is a heartbreaking survey of the nation's penal history. Richly illustrated and filled with victims and villains, nobles, executioners, and torturers, it will delight historians, travelers, and armchair travelers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brandon,Alan Brooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752454560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752454566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"David Brandon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443653587199,"sku":"9780752454566","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe315ed0-a1a2-42b5-9432-552a32332c81.jpg?v=1777206907","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/olde-london-punishments-david-brandon-9780752454566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
