The Bedfordshire libraries describe the lock-up:
(visit link)

'Hexagon shaped and crafted from sandstone with an oak door, Silsoe’s lock-up dates from 1796.

Standing sturdy, yet quite compact, with only a small window and a slit to ventilate it, this particular lock-up would not have been the most comfortable of prisons.'
