Tuxford was a main coaching stop on the old Great North Road and sometimes suffered from the bad behaviour of those passing through. The lockup was used to contain troublemakers overnight or, for more serious offences, until the magistrate arrived. It is entered by a heavy steel door which leads to 2 separate cells.
