The County Gaol in Castle Street in 1927. The gaol was built
in 1813 in what was Salt Lane; however its building contributed to
the renaming of the street to Castle Street. It was closed in 1928
and used as temporary accommodation for the homeless of the city.
The facade was demolished in the 1930s, however several cells remained
until 1987 when they were finally demolished. Today modern flats and
townhouses have replaced the cells at the back and Rowes Carpets stands
at the front. |
