Since 1892 tens of thousands of people have passed through Birminghams central lock-up on their way to court, incarceration or even the noose. What brought them to this desperate point in their lives? And what memories have they left behind?Following an acclaimed sell-out run last year, eight of the regions leading writers will resurrect the ghosts of the Lock-Ups past, summoning them back to the cells, stairways and corridors where they once walked. Being incarcerated with the Lock-Ups ghosts proved so popular last time around that theyre now back for twelve more shows. As you move around the building youll meet robbers and drunkards, prostitutes and murderers, as well as the policemen and pioneering policewomen who held the keys."Sent shivers down my spine several times. Loved it!""Absolutely brilliant! An amazing use of such an interesting building.""Brought the conditions and the people - both officials and 'customers' - back to life. Wonderful."Shows run at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm on July 12, and at 11am, 2pm and 5pm on July 13, 20, 21.Duration approximately 1 hour with time to look around the building after. Not suitable for children under the age of 12. Please be advised the Lock-Up is an old building and is not equipped with modern disabled facilities.
