We had one in my village (Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland) - it only had the bars taken away and got converted into an ordinary house extension a few months ago. It probably dated to when most of Newtongrange was built, the 1890s.

The only musical commemoration of one I know of is the Shetland fiddle tune "Jack Broke da Prison Door" - Jack was a regular resident of one whenever he went berserk while drunk, and one time he smashed his way out.
