B Division, which now serves as a functional urban retreat retains several aspects of its notorious past as a prison. Join your guide on a tour that spans 90 minutes, exploring the eras of justice from 1851 to 1997.

As a visitor, you will have the exclusive opportunity to explore various areas of the division not open to the public, including the remains of the Panopticon – an airing yard designed in the late 18th century for surveillance, control, and punishment. Additionally, you will visit the former Chaplain’s office and prisoners’ cells in B Division’s South Wing.

To enhance your experience, we employ state-of-the-art audio technology that features the actual voices of former guards and inmates, providing a more immersive journey through the cells.
