Had a look around Gloucester Jail on the weekend.
Little bit of history.
In the modern era, HMP Gloucester was classified as a Category B adult male local prison and young offenders institution. It was intended to hold mainly those on remand or newly sentenced and waiting to be sent to another prison. Despite the extensions which had been carried out over the decades, the design of the old buildings and serious overcrowding meant the prison’s days were numbered, and HMP Gloucester was finally closed down in March 2013.
Significant parts of the prison complex are listed.
The central block, which contains A and B Wings, the chapel and the 1791 gatehouse, have a listing of Grade II*. Other parts which are Grade II Listed are the 1826 gatehouse and Debtor’s Prison, the 1860's Governor’s house, and the part of the perimeter wall which runs from the 1826 gatehouse, then east along Barbican Road, and up as far as the Governor’s house.

Did this a fair few months ago, were you still able to get everywhere? Half of it was cordened off with you're not allowed in here signs all over the place...

Thought it was real nice of them to let us know where we weren't supposed to go, subsequently most of my pics were from behind the scenes.

Did you get any of the wings? they were really photogenic.
