What's New

Changes to the Old Bailey website in April 2008

The addition of the 100,000 trial accounts published between 1834 and 1913 represents the single biggest change to this website. We have, however, taken advantage of the opportunity to update many of the technical and historical features of the website and to introduce a new, improved overall design. Some features which can no longer be maintained have been discontinued. We hope users will find these improvements beneficial, but if you encounter any difficulties please contact us.

The old website, last updated in November 2007, will remain available at a separate URL until December 2008, when it will be withdrawn.
