The Lock-Up, Hawarden is a Post-Medieval civil lock-up situated in the village of Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. Built during the nineteenth century, this modest structure served as a place of temporary detention for minor offenders and miscreants awaiting trial or removal to larger gaols. The building exemplifies the type of small-scale local holding facilities that were established in Welsh villages and market towns during the Georgian and Victorian periods to support evolving systems of law enforcement and order. Its survival as a standing structure provides material evidence of provincial criminal justice administration and community policing arrangements in nineteenth-century Wales.
