Nice work fortinian,

Attached - the 1848 OS map, although I expect this is much later, as new railway lines and major alternations were included in 1864. I've pasted the prison [from an earlier map] onto this one for context. The entrance was directly opposite Neptune Street.
Not much evidence of the prison today except for the railway line to exchange station which had to detour around the prison when it was originally laid out. Great Howard Street Goods Station was later built on the site.
Also, Ackerman's 1847 view [copied from
Liverpool - A People's History] originally sourced from LRO.
