Remarks It is possible that there was a separate or new lock up which was described in the Municipal Corporations reports in 1835.
'There is a lock-up house, belonging to the corporation, in which offenders are put for a few hours, when apprehended by the peace officers, before examination'
Royal Commission of Inquiry into Municipal Corporations of England and Wales, First Report, Appendices: Part 2 (Parl. Papers, 1835, XXIII.133), p.906
