Lancaster Castle
The Drop Room, Lancaster Castle, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, UK.
From 1800-1863, prisoners were taken out through the doors of the Drop Room and publicly hanged from a short-drop gallows. The body was then dropped into the castle through the small lower doors. Local schoolchildren were given a morning’s holiday to watch.
