Built in 1880 by James Gibbs, Constable John Bovell was the first policeman to occupy the quarters.
The original building consisted of two cells, a storeroom, kitchen, exercise yard, office, two lobbies, and two police living rooms. The gaol was used until 10th April 1970.
You can view the inside of the gaol by contacting the Visitor Centre which is just 2 doors away.
