I assume the rooms have been redone? A town near hear has an old prison (two cells, I think) that is now a B&B. Bars and all.

That's a real change of pace....nice architecture though, so I'm glad they saved it!

Dramatic! Spooky. Library, heh? That's a good use for a women's prison.

I like the lighting effects on the clock tower for the old prison. Very effective especially when the sky is quite so clouded over.

Wonderful photo. And to think this used to be my local library - spent many hours in there. Wasn't very good, though.
