Her Majesty's Prison, Maidstone

Constructed from local Kentish ragstone the prison was completed in 1819. They seemed to be taking delivery of a new portacabin this Sunday afternoon. I was going to take a picture of the visitors' door (often seen on "Birds of a Feather") but the queue outside, while adding to the picture, probably wouldn't have appreciated it...
