What is recorded here
Women's Prison in Rother, England, dates to 1837 and still carries the shape of a castle on public maps. The chamber may have held mothers, daughters or stolen girls, their breath fogging cold stone while guards debated mercy versus rule. Castle walls do not need gates when distance and fear perform the same job. The building remembers every woman who knocked from the inside.
Women's Prison is shown as a castle on the public map of Rother. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
