Hunmanby lock-up

Last updated February 04, 2025

Hunmanby lock-up is a historic building in Hunmanby, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed in 1834 as the village lock-up, for the temporary detention of people. The village's animal pound was in poor condition, so a new pound was constructed, adjoining the lock-up. The lock-up fell out of use in the 1890s, after a police station was constructed in nearby Filey.^[1]^[2] The building was grade II listed in 1952.^[3]

The building is constructed of blue and pink brick with stone dressings and a hipped slate roof. There is a single storey, a rectangular plan, and two bays. In the centre are two segmental-arched doorways of gauged brick, divided by a pier with a stone impost block, and there is a quoin to each outer jamb. Above each doorway is a horizontal iron grille with a datestone between.^[3]^[4] There are no windows. Inside, it is divided into two cells, in order that two people involved in a fight could be separated.^[2]

A village lock-up is a historic building once used for the temporary detention of people in England and Wales, mostly where official prisons or criminal courts were beyond easy walking distance. Lockups were often used for the confinement of drunks, who were usually released the next day, or to hold people being brought before the local magistrate. The archetypal form comprises a small room with a single door and a narrow slit window, grating or holes. Most lock-ups feature a tiled or stone-built dome or spire as a roof and are built from brick, stone and/or timber.
