    And did they have a rota for who could go into the courtyard/prison yard at any one time?

    Lol yes. Swanage seems like a bit of a pricey area to be starting a small scale privatisation of the prison service though don't you think :).

    Probably, although I live in London, so pricey means something else!

    It used to be quite a good location to run a hotel, though, and that place has all the hallmarks of staff accommodation.

    Can't have them taking up space for paying customers. ;)

    It looks promising from the outside. The inside is like a time machine - that bathroom with brown carpet steps leading up to the avocado corner bath, complete with window curtains hanging above it... I am actually scared to know what that white thing is on the "seat" in the bath.

    Is it? Why?

    I'd imagine that an old CRT telly wouldn't work, due to interference from the magnetron.

    That's not avocado! At a rough guess, I'd say it was champagne... with extra decals. ;)

    Indeed "floral patterned champagne shade suite" - I think I would prefer avocado after all!
