Stay at Home !!

Stay at Home !!
Stay at Home !! The village lock up at Ticknall it was built in 1809 having a relatively short life it closed around 1850, these lock ups were used to detain prisoners overnight those arrested for being drunk and disorderly were usually released in the morning, while those accused of a more serious crime taken to the nearest court.
This one is unusual in having a fire place ( hole in the roof for the smoke ) it was also used by the local Watch which probably explains this luxury.
Sometimes vagrants would be put in them so they didn't have to spend the night in the open.
It's rumoured that a local landlady had a key that fitted so there were some early releases

Interesting image and info. Did read an article in our newspaper about the village of Eyam, which went in a complete lockdown in 1665.

Have a healthy week ahead.

I like this Peter. On Panoramio I had a series of lock ups. There are still so many all over the country and so many different and very interesting styles.
Have a good week but take care!

When we are allowed out again which I think won't be any time soon !! I will try and find out if it is ever open. Under normal conditions Leicester have Heritage Weekends when places you can't normally see are open

I always like these remains of the past, and here especially the door which is worthy of a castle.
