The plaque reads

“This grim cell block was added to the House of Correction in 1816. It was designed by Thomas de Grey, 3rd Lord Grantham, of Newby Hall. From 1834 he was the first President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The building served as a West Riding Constabulary Police Station from 1887 to 1958.”
