Staircase, Bodmin Gaol
Bodmin, Cornwall.
Built in 1779 and closed in 1927, the gaol was the only prison in the county of Cornwall. It accommodated both civillians convicted of crimes and also those unable to pay their debts before the 1869 Debtors Act abolished imprisonment for debt. After 1869 the Admiralty took over the free space to house Naval prisoners.
Today, much of it is in ruins, but parts have been restored and are open to the public.
