To Be Hanged

Walton Jail: Liverpool 

Last Men Hanged In Britain:  August 13, 1964 

At 21 years of age, Peter Allen was sentenced to hang at Walton Prison for his part in the killing of a van driver.

Along with co-convicted Gwynne Owen Evans, he was the last man to be executed in Britain.

A father of two young sons, Allen struggled to keep down a job, and the killing of John Alan West was all part of a bungled burglary by Allen and Evans.
