Derby Gaol
The term Derby Gaol historically refers to the five jails in Derby, England. Today, the term usually refers to one of two small 'tourist attractions', the jail which stood on Friar Gate from 1756 to 1846 and the cells of which still exist and are open to the public. Their possible location, size and function have been assigned for the attraction, alongside a modern kitchen and bar. The 1843 to 1929 Vernon Street Prison whose frontage can still be seen today, has been redeveloped for modern commercial use.
