Although the Borough Gaol submited a separate return under Schedule A in 1828, and was listed in the 1833 Return, it was in fact located on the same site as the County Gaol and House of Correction (ID 31), and in all other official sources considered part of that institution. The 1828 Return does state that all three institutions (County Gaol, County House of Correction and Borough Gaol) shared the same senior management. The separate borough gaol which had been located in Back Street in the eighteenth century was abolished by 1790.
