Tuxford Lock Up
Dated 1823, Tuxford was an important staging point on the Great North Road.
After a period of disuse the building was needed again when the railways around Tuxford were being built to lock up the drunken Irish navvies!

Tuxford Lock-up
One of the last two lock-ups in Nottinghamshire (the other being at Farnsfield) built in 1823 when Tuxford was a prosperous market town on the Great North Road. The proximity of Sherwood Forest and presence of highwaymen kept the Constable busy incarcerating up to two villains until about 1900

The Village Lockup, Newcastle St, Tuxford
Tuxford was a main coaching stop on the old Great North Road and sometimes suffered from the bad behaviour of those passing through. The lockup was used to contain troublemakers overnight or, for more serious offences, until the magistrate arrived. It is entered by a heavy steel door which leads to 2 separate cells.

The Old Lockup, Tuxford, rear view
Built to house local miscreants awaiting court appearance. The building is divided into two cells, with a small room for the gaoler immediately inside the main front door. The only light and ventilation for the cell came from the small round opening in the top of the arched panel together with a similar one at the rear. The cells have a vaulted brick ceiling to prevent any chance of breaking out through the roof. Listed Grade II.
There was formerly a later extension to this side which housed the town's fire engine.
