Suitably forbidding as the former entrance to the House of Correction. By Richard Ingleman, 1807. Grade II listed. A plaque records that it closed in 1880, since when the site has been occupied by Carey's lace factory and, more recently, hauliers W.A. Rainbow & Sons Ltd. The boundary wall and part of a wing also survive.
