History

The National Justice Museum is based at Nottingham’s old Shire Hall and County Gaol. This historic building is famous for its grim past.  The following is a timeline of known dates :-

1375 - Started life as a local court with the first written record dating back to 1449.

1724 - The court and prison had been enlarged over the years because of the courtroom being overcrowded, the floor collapsed, and several people fell with it into the cellar underneath.

1772 - The Hall was rebuilt in 1772.

Public executions were also held in front of its central doorway for several decades, which was a popular form of entertainment back in the Victoria Britain. The executions were so popular that at one time an impressive crowd turned up to watch. The crowd was so dense that it spilled into the steps, now leading up to Nottingham Contemporary, and when panic broke loose people started falling and tripping over each other and because there was no place to escape several spectators were killed on the steps of Nottingham Contemporary and injured on the way leading up to National Justice Museum (now High Pavement Street).

1864 - The last public execution in front of the building was Richard Thomas Parker whose life was taken for committing a murder.

1905-1986 - The building was used as a police station from 1905 to 1985

1986 – The Court closed.

Knowing this dark history, it’s not surprising that National Justice Museum is an epicentre for paranormal activity and one of the most haunted buildings in England
