Cranford village lock-up
Restoration of Cranford village lock up
Cranford Village Lock Up, 18 High St, Hounslow, TW5 9RG
Built in 1838, possibly replacing an earlier building on this site, Cranford's village lock up was a temporary detention for local rogues caught by the village constable. Later superseded by police stations with their own cells, it is a rare survival in London, though a number are still found outside the capital. Restoration was completed in 2017 with funding from HOLT and Hounslow Council and included a new roof, restored iron bars and door and an interpretation panel.
The project features in Secrets of London episode: Highwayman's Lock up!
