Alan Rickman Awaiting Sentence

"Send him down!", the Judge bellowed, a phrase we all know from, um, movies, maybe books.

The Shire Hall first floor has a few rooms of museum/art stuff but the majority is the recreation of the court rooms, it's pretty cool.

Just behind the dock are stone steps down to the holding cells which have a few mannequins. Obviously this one is closely based on Hans Gruber, one the best movie baddies.
A mannequin, that Mike thinks looks like Alan Rickman, in a white shirt, looks out from behind prison bars in a dark wooden door.

Whilst I was taking these photos a woman came down the steps, said, "Hi", turned and shrieked as Alan Rickman stared back out at her. I snorted as I tried to keep the laugh in.
