Prior to the Lock-Up, Birmingham criminals could find themselves spending a night in the dingy cells at the Moor Street Public Office. The conditions were so bad that one officers records note the "dank conditions" as being a contributing factor to his death whilst on duty

The 8 cells at the far end of the basement are separated from the rest of the Lock-Up by an additional wall - though this isn't an original feature it was added in the early 20th century to separate male and female prisoners, and later used specifically for immigration prisoners.
