Such an excellent tour and brought alive by our very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide, Paul. Would thoroughly recommend.
Highly recommend a visit here, in particular a guided tour to immerse yourself fully into the experience. Really interesting! Loved that Graham our guide had actually served 38 years as a prison officer some of that time actually being at Shrewsbury when it operated as a prison. He told the story really well and was also really funny! Would visit again!
A great way to pass a couple of hours. Our guide, Paul, was very knowledgable and entertaining. A way to experience the insides of a prison from a Victorian historical perspective right up to modern times where the prison closed in 2013..
Great informative tour with Graham - highly entertaining guide. Well worth a visit, whether you are visiting the area or live nearby. Wrap up warm as the prison is chilly, even on a sunny day!
Our guide, an ex-Prison Officer with 21 years experience, gave us an really great tour that covered not only the history of the prison but also the development of how we incarcerate from way back to modern times. Very thought provoking.
