Bury Gaol

William Corder was executed on August 11th 1828 at Bury Gaol. Thousands had come to see him executed, perhaps anticipating that he might confess more than what he had already. St. Edmundsbury Borough Council site has a page covering the execution (here). Below are some pictures/illustrations of the jail including a print depicting Corder's execution.
