TS-B Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 As the title of the thread suggests, I am curious to find out if Sheffield has ever had a prison, borstal or a YOI? Also if it hasn't, are we one of the only major UK cities never to have had it's own prison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 And before Scotland street the debtors gaol was on King street - then known as Pudding lane. There was also a 'lock-up' under the first town hall at the entrance to the churchyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Never in a thousand years is this true there as never been a borstal in sheffield I agree, and i can only think of Shirecliffe and the Moss that were local authority run care order/remand homes that were for the under 17s. Borstals were abolished around the mid 1980s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
