Site: Old Bailey - WW2 (2 memorials)

EC4, Old Bailey, Old Bailey

The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales is normally called the Old Bailey after the street it's on, which itself stands on the route of that early fortification the London Wall.

Originally attached to Newgate prison in the 16th century, the current 1902 building was designed by Edward William Mountford. Newgate prison was demolished in 1904 and South Block, an extension to the Old Bailey, was built there in 1972.

These memorials are on the first floor of the old building. The windows in our photo look out onto Old Bailey and the interior of the central dome can just be glimpsed, directly above the WW2 mural. 

Our photos were taken on an excellent guided tour.
