'B' Wing, Armagh Gaol
'B' Wing, Armagh Gaol
Interior view of 'B' wing at the gaol. Very similar to Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast J3375 : Wing, Crumlin Road Gaol - and both were modelled on Pentonville in London. Most of the cells are not open to the public - nor are the two floors above.
Armagh Gaol

Former gaol in the centre of Armagh which was opened around 1780 and closed in 1986 H8745 : Armagh Prison.. The sites at LinkExternal link , LinkExternal link and LinkExternal link will give useful historical information. There have been plans to completely refurbish the buildings, possibly as a hotel, but, at the time of writing, no redevelopment looks likely in the immediate future.

Parts of the building are open for tours - see LinkExternal link for access.
