The round house {Ty Crwn } Barmouth Mid Wales
The round house was erected in 1834 as a lock up.
It consists of two cells, one for men and one for women,it was last used in 1861.
The lock up was mainly used to house petty offenders,. and drunkards were often sent there to sober up.
It was also used to detain offenders as they waited to be transferred to the local courts or county gaol at
Dolgellau Gwyned.
I must say for a building that has been out of use for such a long time it is in very good condition
