Lancashire Witch Project

This print and many others from the series, can be viewed at the Museum of

Lancashire. They were produced for the exhibition on witchcraft, a joint venture

between the Lancashire Witch Project and the museum. It runs until the

23rd of March 2002.

The photograph was shot in the well tower at HMP Lancaster Castle .

Special permission was granted and I was escorted by a prison officer!

It was pitch black down there, with only the prison officer's torch to

focus my camera with. Apparently the water in one of the wells (the other has

not been tested), still contains enzymes from bodies that died and were buried

in or near the castle grounds... yuk. And it was the clearest water I ever saw.

There is apparently an error with this URL, so if it doesn't work, you could phone

the museum on 01772 264075.

Below is the leaflet produced by the museum, with logo's designed by my other 'arf;
