The building set back from the north side of Bridge Street was formerly the House of Correction or Old Bridewell, in use for about 200 years from 1642. It was the forerunner of Usk Prison, and had two predecessors. The earliest was the garrison in Usk Castle, followed by the building further along Bridge Street now named Gordon House.
