Hanged at Pentonville

Over the years the high walls of London's Pentonville Prison have contained some of the most infamous criminals. Taking over from the dreaded Newgate Gaol at the turn of the century as the place of execution for north London and surrounding counties, a total of 120 murderers and spies paid the ultimate penalty here. Steve Fielding has fully researched all these cases, and they are collected together here in one volume for the first time.
