About this cache:
The Lock Up in Gnosall was built in 1820 when it was ordered that a proper building shall be erected for the proper confinement of criminals. By the time it was finished and paid for the Captain Swing Riots in the South of England were over, people were less afraid and the navvies were behaving themselves so it was not used often. Probably last used over 100 years ago when a local shepherd was put in for the night and let out the next morning. It is said the custodian the sole key holder rode out from Stafford (7 miles away) to bring victuals or release the prisoner.
In the 1950's/60's it was used as a henhouse and fell into disrepair. In 1964 Staffordshire County Council wanted to move the Lock Up to the County Museum at Shugborough as it stood in the way of road widening. Gnosall W.I was strongly opposed to its removal from the village. They decided to raise money to purchase a piece of land of which to re-site the Lock Up, and so was taken down from its original site on the junction of Stafford Road and Brookhouse Road and rebuilt where it now stands.
