The lock-up or cage at St Osyth is situated at 14 Colchester Road, CO16 8EJ
and is now a PRIVATE HOUSE. It was last used in 1908.
It is said that two local women who were hanged as witch's, were detained there in 1582
and the house has now gained a certain noteriety.

There is information about demolished lock-ups in Essex :

There was a lock-up in Crown Hill at Ashdon near to the present telephone box.

 

There was a lock-up at Hadstock until the mid 19th century. The door remains are in Saffron Walden Museum.

 

There was a lock-up at Mount Bures although information is sparse.

The lock-up at Prittlewell was in the grounds of Mill Hill Cottages at junction of East Street and Sutton Road which were formerly workshouse premises. Site demolished for redevelopment.

The lock-up at White Notley collapsed in 1976 and there was talk of rebuilding it.
