Vernon Street Prison (County Gaol) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Vernon Street Prison stands in Derby as a county gaol, its walls built to hold rather than inspire. The name suggests a street and a purpose, but the purpose was deprivation. Men and women may have paced those chambers, listening for guards or remembering lives they could not touch. The building still exists, which means the deprivation continued long enough to become stone.

Vernon Street Prison (County Gaol) is shown as a fort on the public map of Derby. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Vernon Street Prison, also known as the County Gaol, was constructed in the early 19th century to serve as the primary jail for Derbyshire. It is remembered as an important local institution for law enforcement and justice in the region during the 1800s.
