Victorian prison cell door

Cells - There are two sets of cells for you to visit - the original 1820s pair is furnished with straw mattress and privy. Stairs outside the heavy doors lead straight to the dock. Graffiti, with prisoners’ names and their sentences can be seen scratched on the wall at the foot of the stair. The upstairs cells are c. 1900 additions and contain displays on the Radnorshire Constabulary, the judges and Presteigne gaol - reputedly one of the worst in Britain. Why not try on a policeman’s cape?
