Terraced Housing

What is recorded here

Castle Terrace 1-3;The Old Gaol, Montgomery stands as Post Medieval terraced housing in Powys, Wales. The Old Gaol name hints that these rooms once held people rather than families, though no surviving detail confirms whether they locked thieves, debtors or soldiers. If so, the terrace carried two lives at once: imprisonment and everyday residence. That dual use belongs in any honest account of the place.
