I have an ancestor who sent a letter from the North Yard at Newgate where he was a prisoner while awaiting transportation in 1820. I'm curious to find out where the "North Yard" is located? I have downloaded a floor plan and possibly it means the male felons' quad but I am not certain. Also the floor plan does not indicate whether Newgate was just one or was several storeys high. Any information would be greatly appreciated. J
