Scotland

We were lucky enough to be asked by HMP to take objects from Peterhead Prison when the old building was due for demolition. We also have a straitjacket, body restraints and any amount of handcuffs. We also have some photographs in our image collection. As well as the prison collection we also have early police tipsticks and batons, shackles, nippers, and a nice collection of archival material.
