St George's Tower, Oxford Castle Development, Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK. Part of Oxford Preservation Trust heritage building built by a Norman baron, Robert D'Oyly, in 1071. It was originally an earth mound with a stone keep on top, known as St George's tower, and later a fifty foot wall with towers was built around the structure. In 1888 it became HM Prison Oxford. The prison was closed in 1996 and the site reverted to Oxfordshire County Council. It is now a shopping and heritage complex, with open courtyards for markets and theatrical performances and a hotel. This is the first time in the UK that a modern prison has been turned into a hotel.
