PENTRIDGE GAOL - Ray King

Thursday 18 September, Tour of H Division Pentridge Prison, Coburg.

Thirteen members arrived at the front gates of the old Pentridge Prison for their 90 minute tour. It sounds as though they all thoroughly enjoyed the visit – and glad it was a visit and not a permanent stay. 

They later enjoyed lunch at the Boot Factory Cafe. The Boot Factory at Pentridge was run by teachers from the then Collingwood Technical School – and Ray Summers worked at that school for many years.
