Inside the revamped Bodmin jail, one of Britain's 'most haunted' buildings. 18th-century prison with gory history reopens as £8.5m visitor attraction in Cornwall
Inside the revamped Bodmin jail, one of Britain's 'most haunted' buildings. 18th-century prison with gory history reopens as £8.5m visitor attraction in Cornwall. Most visitors to Cornwall head to the surf beaches, the picturesque fishing harbours, art galleries, gardens or castles in search of light and joy. However, a murkier side of life in the south-west of Britain is being told from within the towering granite walls of an 18th-century prison, which is reopening as a new visitor attraction on Thursday. The £8.5m Bodmin jail recounts tales of crime and punishment in Cornwall from the 1700s to the early 20th century. Visitors are treated, if that is the right way to put it, to a subterranean “dark walk” that uses special effects to expose the lives and deaths of some of those once imprisoned here. They are invited to stroll in and out of the cells where prisoners once lived and to inspect the artefacts found in excavations of the prison including bunches of rusty keys and even what might be the skull of the fabled Beast of Bodmin. The most daring can take part in paranormal events or watch horror films, as the jail claims to be one of the most haunted places in the UK.The new Bodmin Jail attraction, in Cornwall, which is due to open on the 1st October, 2020.

'I have to control the flashbacks': Anoosheh Ashoori on life after being freed from an Iranian jail
The British Iranian Anoosheh Ashoori was released from prison after five years in March. The 68-year-old is cherishing time with family and has run the London marathon - but his ordeal still haunts him.
A gentle, open, yet determined man, Anoosheh insists he has not grown angry about his five years in an Iranian jail on ludicrous charges of spying for Israel.
But Ashoori has discovered the elation of freedom, returning to his wife, Sherry, their two grownup children and a mountain of yapping dogs at his home in south London.
Patrick Wintour is interviewing one of the two Iranian British dual nationals that have been released last week. His name is Anoosheh Ashoori and he is now living in Lewisham. Photographed with his daughter Elira Ashoori, his wife Sherry Izadi and thier dogs Chickpea and Romeo. Also photoraphed some of the wood art he did in the prison workshop, including an exact carving of Anoosheh’s hand in traditional Vulcan [he’s a Treckie!] pose, a tribute to the Aristocats [a gift for Sherry] an abstract of the mona Lisa and a beautifully inlaid Eagle.
