Default Aldershot Military Prison

Evening all, does anyone know exactly where the old/original Aldershot Military Prison (The original Glasshouse) was? I've heard it was possibly at a place there called Barrack Square, I can't find it on any old maps and want to see if there's any remains next time I'm there.

Many thanks indeed Tim, I'd love to see it on an old map though. Someone might have one.

Attachment 1662261873, sorry about the quality and I take it that it would be at the prison chapel.
