13 Hereford Road

Nos 11 and 13 Hereford Road Built of red sandstone ashlar and rough stone with a Welsh slate roof. Castle style, with some of the original character eroded by the re-roofing. Two storeys, five bay elevation on south side ramped at the base; the outer bays are slightly wider, and also project. Wide band at first floor. At centre a full height Gothic arched entrance recess with wide doorway. Lunette iron grill above doorway which now has modern door. The entrance arch at front supported on two slightly recessed splayed piers with impost moulding continuous with main band. Low stone seats within entrance on both sides. The stone infill presumably replaced the entrance gate of the Gaol after closure in 1869. Small 2 over 2 pane sash windows have replaced the original arrow loops. Overall hipped roof with overhanging eaves. Right return has two 6 over 6 pane sash windows on the ground floor and one above, but the frames of the previous are in evidence. Rear elevation not seen, but is said to retain the stained glass overlight showing the original design for the prison.

Interior not seen at resurvey. Contained the porters' lodge, and the condemned cells which are said to survive in some degree.
