Meet Mark Derby, the author of 'Rock College: An unofficial history of Mount Eden Prison', at this free Uptown event.
Grim, Victorian, and notorious for 150 years, the Mount Eden Prison held both New Zealand's political prisoners and its most infamous criminals. Its interior has been the scene of mass riots, daring escapes and hangings.
"If you want to know what it's like inside that place, this book is the next best thing to a ten-year stretch." - James "Diamond Jim" Shepard, former Mount Eden inmate
Entrance to the venue for the night is next to the French Cafe on Symonds Street. Light refreshments will be provided.
Come and hear Mark talk about this iconic place in Uptown, for a fascinating night of local history not to be missed.
