Description:View looking along Gaol Road towards Stafford town centre. HMP Stafford can be seen stretching along the road on the left. The original Victorian gatehouse - once a distinctive feature of this view and scene of public executions in the 19th century -was demolished in the 1950s as part of a road-widening scheme. Its modern equivalent sits back from the road and cannot be seen from this angle.
