Lincoln Castle

Lincoln Castle is a major Norman castle constructed in Lincoln, England, during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress. The castle is unusual in that it has two mottes. It is one of only two such castles in the country, the other being at Lewes in East Sussex. Lincoln Castle remained in use as a prison and law court into modern times, and is one of the better preserved castles in England; the Crown Courts continue to this day. It is open to the public most days of the week, and possible to walk around the walls from which there are views of the castle complex, cathedral, the city, and surrounding countryside. The castle is now owned by Lincolnshire County Council and is a scheduled ancient monument.

Camorotes Overcrowding: Shortly after opening, the prison became overcrowded when convicts could not be sent to a London prison due to a Cholera outbreak. A rural crime wave and rowdy navvies resulted the system of one inmate per cell being abandoned. Victorian Prison. Lincoln Castle 43
