Prison and Police Museum details...

The complex of buildings in St Marygate served Ripon as the House of Correction for Vagrants, Liberty Prison and Police Station. The history of policing is seen through displays of uniforms and artefacts from police and prison memorabilia. Sit in a prison cell, hear the door slam shut and imagine the harsh conditions of a Victorian prison. Try on prison uniforms, imagine the fear of being set in the pillory, strapped in a restraint chair or hung in chains!
