Notes
In 1906 the United Counties of Durham and Northumberland purchased the land on Albert Street and built a new jail, moving all items and prisoners from the "Olde Gaol" that had been located on the corner of Elgin and Burnham Streets. This new jail was the County jail for both of these counties till 1968 when the province took over and then till 1998 when it was decommissioned.
