Written on the 100th anniversary of its closure, Newcastle Prison A History 1828-1925 (Tyne Bridge Publishing) explores hidden stories of the prisoners, the staff and the history of the prison. Using specially commissioned 3D modelled images, the prison is brought back to life. Join three of the authors, Patrick Low, Shane McCorristine, Helen Rutherford and Clare Sandford-Couch as they discuss their research and tell some of the stories they discovered.
