This pic makes me feel that I am right there looking at the view, feeling the vertigo (urgh), totally involved!

Ron, I love that you have an eye for things that are different and interesting.  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!

My understanding is that it was built during 1834 on the edge of what used to be a stone quarry (today its a childrens play area/park). 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.

I do believe I might have some pictures of the Lock up taken from back in the 70's, I'll have to go on a search.  I remember the bolt, but I don't remember the fancy looking key thing.
