Daily trips around one of Ruthin’s most iconic buildings with a member of Denbighshire County Council’s Heritage Service. The Gaol was in use to incarcerate law breakers for several centuries with the frontage facing Clwyd Street built in 1774 and the main ‘Pentonville’ block in the 1860s. After the Gaol closed in 1916, it then became a munitions factory during the Second World War before its current use as the County Archive and Museum / Visitor Attraction until the present day.
