Originally located near Clerkenwell Close, the Middlesex House of Correction occupied this site at Coldbath Fields in 1794. As well as convicted criminals it held political prisoners detained without trial, and acquired a reputation for brutality and drudgery. It closed in 1885 and the site was acquired for the Post Office.
