Ghost Hunt At Beaumaris jail
Beaumaris Gaol Carchar Biwmaris
Beaumaris Gaol is a disused jail located in Beaumaris, Anglesey, Wales. Although no longer in use it remains largely unaltered and is now a museum open to visitors, with around 30,000 visiting each year.
The jail was designed by Joseph Hansom, designer of the Hansom cab, and was built in 1829. It was expanded in 1867 to accommodate approximately 30 inmates but was closed just 11 years later. The building then became a police station until the 1950s when it became, oddly, a children's clinic and lastly a museum in 1974.
The prison is most well known however for its brutal methods of keeping criminals in check including stretching racks, chains and whippings. It has one of the last working treadmills in Britain. The treadmill at Beaumaris is unusual in that it pumped water to the top of the building for use in the cells, meaning that the prisoners were not being forced to work for no reason. Only two hangings took place at Beaumaris. The first was that of William Griffith, in 1830, for the attempted murder of his first wife. He reacted badly to the news that he was to hang and on the morning of his execution, barricaded himself inside the cell. The door was eventually forced open and he was half dragged and half carried to the gibbet. The second and final execution was that of Richard Rowlands in 1862, having been found guilty of murdering his father in law. He protested his innocence right up to the final moment and legend has is that he cursed the church clock from the gallows, saying that if he were innocent the four faces of the nearby church clock would never show the same time. Indeed for a while they did not, although this has been attributed to the wind buffeting the southern face. Both men were buried in within the walls of the gaol in a lime pit, but the exact location of their burial is unknown.
The metal rivets which held the gibbet in place, along with the two doors which the condemned man passed through can still be seen from the street outside the Gaol walls.
Throughout its time as a prison there was only one instance of a prisoner escaping. The prisoner, John Morris, escaped on 7 January 1859, using rope he had stolen whilst working with it. Although he broke his leg whilst escaping he did make it out of the town, before being recaptured.

A Glimpse of Beaumaris || Wales, UK
A darling little seaside village off the coast of North Wales; Beaumaris is full of flowers, castles, and... maybe human bones? I don't think I want to know...
It's my first day in my UK trip and I'm visiting my Dad and his bae, Bridget (aka BAE). While the grown-ups were off doing work, I took a quick trip to the Isle of Anglesey to explore the old city of Beaumaris. The main attraction in Beaumaris is the castle constructed by King Edward I in 1295 as a part of his campaign to conquer the north of Wales in 1282. Construction took nearly 3 decades due to lack of funds followed by the Scottish uprising. Construction came to a halt in 1330 and it was never completed.
The rest of the village is filled with small shops, brightly colored houses, Welsh cakes, fantastic pubs (check out The Bull), and a quaint beach where you can sit, relax, and watch the sail boats drift by.

Beaumaris is a former royal borough, a community, and the former county town of Anglesey, Wales. Beaumaris was located in the commote of Dindaethwy and historic rural deanery of Tindaethwy, and is at the eastern entrance to the Menai Strait, the tidal waterway separating Anglesey from the coast of North Wales.
Beaumaris was originally a Viking settlement known as Porth y Wygyr (Port of the Vikings), but the town itself began its development in 1295 when Edward I of England, having conquered Wales, commissioned the building of Beaumaris Castle as part of a chain of fortifications around the North Wales coast (others include Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech).
Beaumaris was the port of registration for all vessels in North West Wales, covering not only every harbour on Anglesey but also all the ports from Conwy to Pwllheli. Shipbuilding was a major industry in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point – a nearby spit of land extending into the Menai Strait about a mile west of the town.
Beaumaris was awarded a royal charter by Edward I, which was drawn up on similar terms to the charters of his other castle towns in North Wales and intended to invest only the English and Norman-French residents with civic rights. Native Welsh residents of Beaumaris were largely disqualified from holding any civic office, carrying any weapon, and holding assemblies; and were not allowed to purchase houses or land within the borough.
A native of Anglesey, David Hughes, founded Beaumaris Grammar School in 1603. Notable buildings in the town include the castle, a courthouse built in 1614, the 14th-century St Mary's and St Nicholas's Church, Beaumaris Gaol. Beaumaris Pier, opened in 1846, was designed by Frederick Foster and comprises a masonry jetty on wooden and concrete pilings. A marina on the western shore of Gallows Point has been proposed, but at present all moorings at Beaumaris are tidal.
