Holloway, House of Correction, a drama, tells of the unlikely friendship that occurs between two women: Mrs Victoria Wood, wealthy, beautiful and recently married but who has undergone an unparalleled loss, and the impoverished working class, Mrs Margaret Bull, the only surviving daughter of England's nineteenth century’s most prolific serial murderess, Mary Ann Cotton. Both live close to the old Holloway prison in North London when it became a women’s only prison. Their story and families describe when the 19th century ended and the 20th century began, when the last of the Victorian values began to die and the modern age began to rise, and when friendships and employment were to change everything.
Written with details of the day to day running of the prison about 1902.
