This is the Old Gaol in Buckingham, which was one of the earliest purpose built prisons, and is now a museum. It stands in the centre of Buckingham, and is quite an impressive building. It was built in 1748.

Geez...Wish I could transport that castle over here, and live in it!LOL I Love stuff like this! Happy day to you love!
Good Afternoon Dabrah,
Wow, what a beautiful building. "THANK YOU" for sharing it with us. I think that is so neat that they turned the old prison into a museum. I love to go thru museum's. I bet they have some pretty interesting things in there. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
It's a gorgeous building, isn't it?
Thank you for visiting. It may seem strange but people had this problem before and sometimes it just means higher the volume on your own computer to solve the listening problem. I hope that that is the problem.
Hi Dabrah,
Very beautiful building. Thanks so much for sharing it!!
*HUGS*
Just transport yourself back to the 1700s... you're starving and you've just been caught stealing a loaf of bread to feed your family, and you're being hauled away to that imposing stone building... thrown into a cold cell, with no indoor plumbing except perhaps a wooden bucket, no TV, no blamkets, no Nintendo, no hot meals, no justice.... YIKES!
Thanks for sharing the picture of that beautiful building, Dabrah. I enjoyed seeing it.
Thats a great old building there.
Also your sunset is most fantastic.
Thankyou for visiting my lil ol blog and your kind comments.
Oh, you so make me want to visit! Maybe someday! :)
