Newgate
a prison in London which was first built in the 12th century on land where the Old Bailey now stands. It was rebuilt several times before it was finally destroyed in 1902. In the 18th century it became famous for the very bad conditions in which the prisoners were kept. It is mentioned in many 18th- and 19th- century novels. 纽盖特(Newgate):伦敦的一座监狱,始建于12世纪,现存于老贝利(Old Bailey)所在地。它经过了几次改建,直到1902年最终被摧毁。在18世纪,它因囚禁囚犯的恶劣条件而闻名。许多18和19世纪的小说都提到了这一点。
