		Despite prison riots in the early 1990s, which virtually destroyed most of the original prison building, and the subsequent new building which has taken place around it, Strangeways Prison, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, still stands starkly against the skyline of the north of the city centre.
		Some input into the concept of its radial plan was made by Joshua Jebb, the Surveyor General of Prisons, who had designed a similar plan for Pentonville Prison in the 1840s.
		The building is the archetypal Victorian prison, and Waterhouse, (who was also architect for the Town Hall in Albert Square) employed his favourite Venetian Gothic style in its creation, though today only the two gatehouse entrances and the watchtower can be easily seen behind the new security parapets.
