Exploring the Cirencester lock-up 🗝️ | Prison History

A building with two distinct stories... Today the Cirencester lock-up can be found at the back of the Cotswold District Council offices on Trinity Road, Gloucestershire. But it began life on the other side of town in Gloucester Street, where it was built in 1804 as a facility to hold drunks, vagrants, troublemakers and accused criminals. Delve into the details... https://www.prisonhistory.org/feature... -- Dr. Rosalind Crone is on a hunt to expand her ever-growing database that comprises the findings and history of locally situated lock-ups. Lock-ups were most commonly utilised to temporarily imprison misbehaving drunks overnight, although they were also used to accommodate those on long journeys away from home. Lock-ups were cold and usually in complete darkness. Many are scattered across the UK today - we would love to hear from you if you have any information about a lock-up in your area!
