Liverpool Prison for Females c 1829

[ShaunJ]

there WAS a female Penitentiary in Liverpool at the time

There was of course a prison in Liverpool but I haven't found any evidence of it being called a penitentiary.

I hope nobody has spent too much time on this query, as I now believe the prison I was looking for was Millbank Penitentiary in London. 

I did learn a lot about Lancaster Castle and gaol though which was very interesting and some really interesting links have been put up here, so thank you for that garstonite and others.

I am visiting Lancaster Castle and gaol tomorrow as my interest was heightened so much!!  Though it will be as a tourist not as a prisoner. 

Thanks once again to all, this is a great site.
