Description
CARLISLE
NY4055NW BOROUGH STREET 671-1/12/51 (East side) Gaol wall, west of Crown Court
GV II
County Gaol wall. 1824-7 by Christopher Hodgson. High snecked red sandstone wall without plinth, with rounded coping. Extends from the Crown Court down Court Square Brow, along Borough Street and up Bush Brow, enclosing the former gaol yard. Nearest the Crown Court the wall stands to its full original height of almost 10 metres, with the blocked archway into the former stone yard. Along Borough Street and Bush Brow its height has been reduced. The squared gate piers on Bush Brow are not 1820s but are included for group value. Christopher Hodgson's original drawings for the gaol and this wall, dated 1824, are in Carlisle Library. For a further section of this wall, see Hospital Wing of County Gaol and Gaol Wall, English Street (qv).
