As it happens .... In the middle of the Lace Market area in Nottingham is the building now known as the National Justice Museum. A hint to one of the building's previous functions is a stone arch leading to cellars, over which is "COUNTY GAOL". On looking closer, it's clear the stonemason (perhaps a Notts County fan) had originally spelt that as "COUNTY GOAL".

That used to raise a smile every time I passed through the Lace Market.
