Everything about Adelaide Gaol totally explained
Adelaide Gaol was an Australian
prison located in
Thebarton,
South Australia,
Australia. The gaol was the first permanent one in South Australia and operated from
1841 until
1988. The prison is now a
museum,
tourist attraction and function centre.
Construction of the prison cost approximately £40,000 which, being a fifth of the total funding for the establishment of the newly settled
colony, was the main cause of a statewide
depression and numerous
bankruptcies. From 1840 to 1964, 45 people were executed by
hanging at the Gaol. William Ridgway was the youngest at 19,
Elizabeth Woolcock the only woman and the last was Glen Sabre Valance.
