History Of Castle Street Prison
This building has been the site of many dramatic events, with numerous criminals passing through its doors. Dating back to 1876, the building was once a police station but has not been in use since 2004. Despite this, it has been designated as a Grade II listed building, and the new owners have invested £500,000 in purchasing and refurbishing it. Plans are in place to turn parts of the building into a museum, and visitors can expect to see the original courtroom and cells, complete with a wooden dock and public gallery. Six cells are located underneath the main courtroom, some of which still contain the original beds - simple wooden planks screwed to the walls. All of the doors and windows inside the cells are original, and visitors can also explore an incident room. In this darkroom, police once developed photographic evidence, eight garages, stables, and outdoor toilet facilities.
