Description
The House of Correction, built around 1820 as an addition to a now-demolished earlier structure, is a two-storey building made of large dressed stone with a nipped slate roof and a stone chimney. The south side of the building features a blank wall, while the north elevation includes several slit windows: three on the first floor, and one along with a triple slit window on the ground floor. All windows are secured with barbed iron bars.
Inside, there is a stair hall, a groined chamber supported by two piers that includes a fireplace, and an upper room. Much of the original cell furniture remains, including cast-iron doors with complex locking devices and shackle rings. The building was reportedly sold in 1876.
