Once doors for debtors - Gloucester Prison, Gloucestershire
Having been closed some three years ago by the Ministry of Justice, the site is now in the ownership of City and Country who are to develop the site for residential use. This building dates from the original prison of 1792 and was used as a debtors prison where the living conditions could be varied according to their means. Until the prison finally closed in 2013 it was subsequently used as the healthcare wing or, less formally, the hospital. Time photo taken 1.53 pm BST (British Summer Time).
