Would you have gone? Would you have drunk with the condemned? Paid your way into their prison the night before? Public executions in London were big business with hundreds of thousands carousing through the streets alongside the condemned as they went from Newgate prison to Tyburn's infamous gallows. It was a grisly performance but one that many revelled in. Perhaps you would have too.

Anthony Delaney takes Maddy Pelling out for a day at the hangings.

Written by Anthony Delaney. Edited and produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
