Leeds prison was built in 1847. It was a place of execution until 1960s, and was expanded from four wings to six wings in 1994. Recent refurbishment has addressed many of the issues associated with under investment in Victorian prisons, although further work is needed to upgrade the buildings and facilities. A new gate complex opened in September 2002, providing much needed staff facilities and an improvement to the entry point for all visitors and staff, which is closer to the Visitors Centre.
