EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Round House, a fascinating relic from 18th century England. Located on Main Street in Breedon On The Hill, Leicestershire, this circular lock-up served as a temporary holding place for criminals before the establishment of a national policing system. Dating back to around 1893, when this photograph was taken by the London Midland and Scottish Railway, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. The Round House stands as a testament to the unique architectural heritage of its time. Its sturdy stone walls and domed roof exude an air of strength and security that once confined wrongdoers within its confines. This historical structure not only symbolizes law enforcement practices of yesteryears but also serves as a reminder of how communities took matters into their own hands to maintain order. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where justice was dispensed locally rather than through centralized authorities. It sparks our curiosity about the stories hidden within those ancient walls - tales of misdeeds and perhaps even redemption. Preserved by Historic England, this print allows us to appreciate both the architectural significance and historical context surrounding The Round House. It is truly remarkable how such structures continue to captivate our imagination while reminding us of our rich cultural pasts.
