Description:
One of the only two remaining Lock-ups in Nottinghamshire is to be found here in Tuxford. Built in 1823 it stands on the village green in Newcastle Street. It has two separate cells (one for men and women) with their own earth closets. Ventilation to each cell is via two circular holes, with iron bars on the front and back walls. In 1884 an extension to the back of the building housed Tuxford's Fire Engine.
