About The Maze Prison

This is a group for photographs of the Maze Prison near Lisburn, Northern Ireland.

This prison has played a large part in the Troubles of the last 30 years in Northern Ireland, and was officially closed and abandoned in 2000. It will be torn down next year, and a new stadium will be built in its place.

On September 22, a bunch of us were invited along with a Camera Club to visit Prison, get a guided tour, and take photos for 2 hours. You need to get special permission to be able to visit the prison, so we were very lucky to be able to go, it's not open for the general public. We were told lots of great stories by Philip, the "tour guide",and hopefully some of these will be passed on to you with the photos.

All photos we took are added to the Group Pool, but if you wish, you can also view them in their own Sets here on Flickr:

* Susan's Maze Prison Set [159 photos, all color]
* Sasha's Maze Prison Set [221 photos, b&w and color]
