Description
The perimeter wall on the east side of the former Her Majesty's Prison Gloucester is made of red brick with ashlar details. This wall surrounds the north-east and south-east sides of the former prison yard, facing Barbican Road between the Outer Gate and the Prison Governor's House on Commercial Road. It is a simple brick wall featuring two horizontal stone offsets and evenly-spaced brick pilaster plinths on the Barbican Road side. In the late 20th century, blue brick coping was added to the top of the wall, and the pilasters were either repaired or rebuilt. At the north end, there is an additional section of wall built behind the main wall as it turns east and west, designed to eliminate a corner of the prison yard that had been a site for illicit activities. There is a void between this additional wall, which also connects to the Outer Gatehouse, and the main perimeter wall.
