About the Jail
Locally known as Castle Street police station, This old county police station and Jail is a Victorian grade 2 listed building dating back to 1875. The building still has the original wooden courtroom dock and public gallery. There are 6 cells beneath the courtroom that have the original wooden beds (just a piece of wood screwed to the wall), alongside the courtroom is the judges changing room along with other rooms across the building that had very different uses as a police station & jail.
