Delivering solutions at the House of Detention

The grounds of Kingsway Place, north-east of Clerkenwell Green, have a long and turbulent history stretching back to 1617, including destruction by fire in the 1780 Gordon Riots. Two prisons once stood on this historic ground, Clerkenwell Bridewell, for sentenced prisoners, and The New Prison, for individuals awaiting trial. In 1794 The Bridewell shut its doors, and by 1847, the New Prison was completely renovated and renamed as The Clerkenwell House of Detention.The grounds of Kingsway Place, north-east of Clerkenwell Green, have a long and turbulent history stretching back to 1617, including destruction by fire in the 1780 Gordon Riots.
