How many people would have walked passed that old door/gate and ignored it. It is a super pic, well taken. I especially like the shape of the metal ? (thing) with the padlock through it. The door/gate looks really old and I wondered what it's age might be and if those are the original metal fittings on it. Every picture tells a story - or has a story to tell! |

Basically it was used during the nineteenth century to lock the Village drunkards up overnight, before being hauled before the Magistrates Court the next morning. Nowadays they open it up on May Day and for a small charge they will lock you up! Nice eh, but you do get a Certificate to prove it. Not sure if the ironwork is original but would think some of it is. Thanks for your coments CathyML...appreciated. |
