Galleries of Justice

The Galleries of Justice is a museum of Crime and Punishment and tourist attraction in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, England.

The courtrooms date back to the 1300's and the gaol dates back to at least 1449. The prisons are still there. There was also a working police station there up until 1985, and the courts closed in 1986. The museum was once a fully functioning Victorian courtroom and claims to be "The only site in the country where you could be arrested, sentenced and executed."Tim Desmond,Chief Executive, Galleries of Justice |date=February 2007
