The Yorkshire Trench
Dania (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Dania.
The Yorkshire Trench is located near the village of Boezinge (modern spelling, previously Boesinghe). However, it is not actually within the village, which lies to the left or west of the main road from Ypres, the N369, as you travel north. Instead, to reach the site, turn right off the N369 (sign posted Pilkem) and just before a Peugeot garage take another right heading back south along the other side of the canal. This runs by the edge of a large new industrial estate to your left.
The Yorkshire trench is sign posted on a road leading into the industrial estate to the left, but the signpost is rater small and easily missed. Also sign posted on the same turn is Westcompost, an easier sign to see. The road bends to the left, and the Yorkshire Trench site is then around 100 yards further down the road on the left.There is no charge for entry to the site.

Macoupin County Jail
bucsfan2010 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: bucsfan2010.
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail, designed by E.E. Meyers, was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail. The interior is designed in the "jailer residence" style, a popular 19th century prison design, requiring the jailer and his family to reside in an apartment above the jail. The cell block ceiling, walls and floor are constructed of one-inch iron plates with 20 inches of solid stone above and below. The jail was built to house 16 male prisoners and one female, but at one time it held 33 prisoners, four of whom were accused murderers. This historic structure was finally retired when the new county jail was built and dedicated in 1988
