This abandoned neo-Tudor institution was built in the mid 1800’s. The outer walls with towers and a gatehouse were demolished in 1971, but the original cell wings and central tower remain. This image features the former chapel - you can see the beautiful windows creating a shadow on the floor. It was later converted to a sports hall with lines for badminton, tennis and basketball.
It is well known as the place where Oscar Wilde was imprisoned for having a relationship with a man which was illegal at this time. He was incarcerated in Cell 3.3 between 1895 and 1897. After he was released Wilde wrote a famous poem about his experience of the Gaol.
This institution followed the 'separate system' which kept prisoners entirely separate from each other. In addition to this, prisoners were subjected to hard labour.
In 2013 the government announced that it would be permanently closed as it was too expensive to run.
