The execution bell displayed in the Church of St. Sepulchre Without Newgate, near the former location of the Newgate Prison.
Standing so close to Newgate Prison and the Old Bailey, the church featured in public executions, and its bells tolled on the fatal day. The night before was rather more macabre. Round about midnight, the St. Sephulchre’s clerk would travel across the street through a tunnel, to stand outside the condemned prisoner’s cell. There the clerk would ring the handbell pictured here, and recite to the prisoner the following comforting ditty: All you that in the condemned hold do lie, Prepare you, for to-morrow you shall die; Watch all, and pray, the hour is drawing near That you before the Almighty must appear; Examine well yourselves, in time repent, That you may not to eternal flames be sent. And when St. Sepulchre's bell to-morrow tolls, The Lord above have mercy on your souls. Past twelve o'clock!
The Black Dog of Newgate is a form of Hellhound that was often sighted haunting Newgate Prison in London before it was demolished in 1902. Sighting this Black Dog is said to be accompanied by a horrible smell and the sound of slow footsteps. Those that witness this haunting creature claim it has “eyes of red and jowls that dripped with blood”. While the prison is now gone, Old Bailey now stands in its place. It is said that the Black Dog of Newgate appears around midnight where it slides from wall to wall as a shapeless mass of shadow.
Definitely not not a thought form of centuries of prisoners' suffering concentrated into one beastie.

In an age when prison cells sound more like hotel rooms, kitted out with tea machines, TVs and playstations, here’s a look at what they used to look like in Victorian times. The Museum of London has salvaged an old wooden cell from Newgate Prison and it looks more like the inside of a coffin. There are no windows, just splintered wood, scratched all over with the names of people who used their finger nails as pens.
