An early-C19 lock-up, since used as a fire engine house and latterly as a plant room.
Lock-up of 1820; used as a fire engine house in the late C19. Now a plant room and store for the adjoining Poole Museum.
MATERIALS: built from limestone ashlar with a slate roof.
PLAN: a single-room plan.
DESCRIPTION: single-storey, two-window range. The two small, barred windows and the studded door between them have chamfered surrounds. A keystone above the door dates the building to 1820. A later double door was inserted in the west end of the building when it was used as a fire engine house.
Built as a lean-to lock-up against the Town Cellars (Grade I listed). Writing 18 years after it was built in 1820, John Sydenham stated it was referred to as ‘The Salisbury’, after the medieval gaol built by the Montagu Family, Earls of Salisbury, which the existing structure replaced.
