History

In 1840 a new gaol, the Sessions House was built, modelled on the same design as Pentonville Prison in London.
In 1878 prisoners were relocated to either Cambridge or Northampton and the Sessions house became the Headquarters for the Liberty of Peterborough and the Liberty magistrates' court.
In 1947 the Police were relocated when the two separate forces - the Liberty of Peterborough (who looked after the old 'Soke' of Peterborough) and City of Peterborough force became one. The magistrates remained until another premises were built.
In the 1980's the magistrates moved into a purpose built court building.
In 1985 the Sessions House become a public house and restaurant. At the present time (15-07-12) the building is unused & the forecourt is being used as a carpark
