Incorporated beneath the new Georgian Town Hall (in the High Street at the junctions of St Mary Street, Church Street and Quay Street) was the new gaol (formerly located in the Castle’s Black Tower) which was later adapted for use as a fire station when it was decided that a bigger gaol was necessary. It closed in 1853, once again in dire need of expansion and modernisation, eventually being completely demolished in 1861.
