This view is from the back and as you can see the windows to the containment cells with bars. As a young teenager in the mods and rocker days, I had the unfortunate experience of staying in one of those cells for a couple of days. I was put in the one on the bottom left next to the drainpipe. The womens cells were at the top. They were very basic and dingy - a hard wooden bed and a toilet, no sink. The cells are still there today, and the magistrates court was next door. Now of course they have built a new, larger police station and court house next to the town hall on Park Avenue. Glad to say have not had a stay in that one yet lol!
