Delve into Lancaster's dark past with a look at the Red Judges of the Assizes who presided over the cases at Lancaster Castle and stayed at Judges' Lodgings.
Find out about the personalities behind the cases, like Acid Drop, known for his harsh sentencing, and some of the shocking cases they presided over. Speaker Penny Blackburn reveals her original research into the historic visitor book at the Judges' Lodgings and shares the lighter side of judges' lives, from amateur athletics to family life.
