These striking images of Shepton Mallet Prison reveal the stark and haunting interior of one of England’s oldest correctional facilities. Constructed in 1610 and operational for over four centuries, the prison’s corridors and cells remain as eerie testaments to the lives of those confined within its walls. The dimly lit hallways, empty and silent, feel frozen in time, with crumbling walls, peeling paint, and rusting fixtures bearing witness to the harsh realities endured by prisoners throughout history. The absence of people in the photos enhances the sense of abandonment and isolation, allowing the architecture and atmosphere to tell the story of struggle and survival.
