Description

"C" Hall of cells and the Old Chapel, now known as the Concert Hall, is a building located at Parkhurst Prison on Haskell Road. Constructed in 1844, it is one of the last buildings designed by architect Jebb. The structure is a long, three-storey block made of red brick with grey headers, with a late 19th-century extension at the northern end. It features segment-headed windows with closely set grilles and a gable end slate roof.

At the southern end, there is a large trefoil-shaped extension that originally housed the old chapel on the first floor and classrooms for juvenile offenders on the ground floor. The roofs are hipped and slate-covered, with a curved front and projecting eaves. Each arm of the extension has three large round-headed windows on the first floor, which have broad, plain, rendered surrounds that extend down below the sill level. The ground floor windows are similar but are segment-headed and include keystones.
