The Old Bailey is how the Central Crimimal Court in England is commonly known, being on the east side of the street called Old Bailey (to the right in the photograph). The court was built on the site of the former Newgate Prison to the designs of the architect Edward William Mountford (1855-1908) and was opened by King Edward VII in 1907. It was substantially damaged by bombing during the Second World War but was rebuilt in the 1950s. It is a Grade II* Listed Building.
