NY4055NW ENGLISH STREET 671-1/12/136 (West side) Hospital Wing of County Gaol and Gaol Wall
GV II
Hospital wing of County Gaol, now offices, and gaol wall. 1824-7 by Christopher Hodgson. Red sandstone ashlar, extensively restored, with solid parapet, battlemented on the English Street facade. Flat lead roof. 2 storeys, numerous bays. Facing onto English Street is the gaol wall on chamfered plinth with regularly-placed blind lancets with single metal bar. On the top on the angle of the wall, public executions were performed and a cast plaque records the last one in 1862. The wall joins with the Crown Court offices and is an integral part of those offices. The rear of the wall has built against it the hospital wing. 2 off-centre former segmental-arched doorways are now infilled and fitted with casement windows in stone surrounds, some paired. INTERIOR alterations, but the solitary confinement cell is still complete with its iron door and peep hole, now used as a strong room. For further details see Perriam, CWAAS, Trans.NS LXXVII.
