Housed in the former St Albans Prison, which had been built in 1867 and served in that role until the 1920s. For many years it was then used as a council depot, but has now been redeveloped for offices, including the local registry office in the gatehouse. The entrance was made famous by its use in the title sequence of the 1970s BBC comedy series "Porridge". It is locally listed.
