Hm Young Offender Institution, E Hall

HM Young Offender Institution, E Hall is a prison cell block with an attached punishment block, likely built in 1848. It features coursed and squared dressed Portland stone and has a slate roof. The cell block is located to the north, adjacent to the northern boundary wall, and is connected by a one-storey parapeted entrance lobby to a modified flat-roofed Education building to the south. Behind the Education building is a small rectangular punishment block, all arranged around a small internal exercise yard.

The eastern front of E Hall has two large and two smaller segmental-headed iron-barred windows in flush surrounds with bold cills. To the right, there are plank doors in a square opening leading down steps, and to the left, there is another entry to the Education building. E Hall is a plain coped-gable, two-storey structure with 11 bays, featuring large arched windows on each gable and very small segmental-headed barred windows with heavy cills, while the central bay is blank above recessed paired doors on each side.

The punishment block has plain outer walls and an entry on the northern side, with its roof concealed by a parapet. The Education block has been modified with a 20th-century flat concrete roof but retains very small segmental-headed windows on two floors. The interior of E Hall, the cell block, retains its original structure and fittings, including a gallery on cast-iron brackets, cell doors, rod roof trusses, and small top lights, with principal lighting coming from large gable windows. The interior of the punishment block also remains largely unaltered, with top lights. The Education building has not been seen internally. The architectural details suggest that this is part of the 1848 prison scheme.
