Leicester Gaol or Jail, which stood a few buildings down from the Horse & Trumpet.
In 1728, it was granted a licence to sell ale as, like many others, Leicester Gaol permitted a prisoner with money to buy what he liked through the jailor. For poorer prisoners near starvation could follow imprisonment. All that remains today (as of January 2014), is end brickwork still visible in Highcross Street.
