| From Here to Australia. |
Saturday March 8, 2014.
It was during one of my wanders along the north bank, of the River Thames, from Battersea to Westminster, that I spotted this bollard. The inscription, read...
"Near this site stood Millbank Prison which was opened in 1816 and
closed in 1890. This buttress stood at the head of the river steps
from which, until 1867, prisoners sentenced to transportation
embarked on their journey to Australia."
Intrigued, I was determined to find out more.
