Later about 1892 used as Berwick upon Tweed Council Offices until 2015. Grade II listed. Now converted into 4 large houses with a 2 bed apartment in the old stable loft at the rear. Incorporated into the new design are the former prison cells on 2nd floor, cellar and former vault/ saferoom and a former chapel on 3rd floor.
