Ulverston, Westmorland and Furness, England, United Kingdom

Town Gaol Until the opening of the Gill Lock-Up in Victorian times, this building served as Ulverston's Town Gaol. Persons under the influence of liquor found themselves behind these walls until they sobered up, whilst miscreants who committed more serious crimes were taken across the sands to Lanca

ster Castle to face trial. Many imprisoned faced execution or were transported to Australia.
