Grove Prison Museum

Visited today, very interesting place, lots of old photos & stories of inmates & staff. There's a very good book available to browse through or to buy. It also gives an idea of what life was like on the island back then.If you have a connection to the area this place is a must.You can get the No. 1 bus to the end of Grove Road & just walk along for about half a mile, you can't miss it.The staff there will tell you everything you want to know, & if you supply your relative's name they will find their records & email the information to you.John Hutton, who wrote the book actually, emailed me later with the information & a copy of my ancestor's work record. He must have done this from home in his own time, that's going above & beyond !I highly recommend this museum.

Nice museum with good history and free entry, worth a visit if local

It's free entry

Amazing and very interesting would certainly recommend a visit will defently be returning in the future

Fantastic and interesting place, differently a must visit. Very informative volunteers

Small place filled with a wealth of history! Very interesting and informative!

Lovely little museum. Well worth the visit. The curator was chatty and knowledgeable, answered all our questions.

Had a very interesting and informative tour of the Museum this morning conducted by one of the Wardens. A great thank you to him for taking the time to rake us around.

What a brilliant museum! Small but packed with information and managed by John - one of the most helpful curators I have met. A very friendly reception on arrival, John raising the barrier for my elderly mother needing disabled access. Once in, we were able to look at a multitude of photos and superb resources relating to the lives of prison inmates, employees and their families. Depending on volunteers, it is a real credit to the island.I hope it will be able to continue.Since our visit, John has kindly emailed additional information to me.Thank you

Very interesting museum. Very helpful and knowledgeable curator.
