Nos 3 and 5 Burgh Road are tall houses, 18th century but pre about 1780 (diagonal skintlings) with a sawtooth cornice that was once also visible on the west, now covered by no 1 (NHER 37636). No 5 has internal walls of brick with softwood members, in 18th century style; there are said to be cellars.
The buildings are believed to be part of the former bridewell (see NHER 12218). Two small brick buildings in the garden to the east have been described as former cells, but these each have a pointed door between two blank pointed windows and are far more likley to be Gothick garden houses.

[1] has found a reference to the Bridewell being rebuilt in 1787 and sold off in 1825. It would appear that 3 and 5 Burgh Road are the section of 1787, and no 1 (NHER 37636) is an addition between 1787 and 1825.
See discussion under NHER 37636.

(S2) shows 3 and 5 Burgh Road as internally consisting of six cells, corridor and staircase. To the north is a yard with outbuildings. The two Gothick so called cells are not shown, indicating they are post 1825 and not cells.
