The stocks by peadar

The stocks

This market place is at the centre of Poulton-le-Fylde - the ancient market town in Lancashire. Lying south of St Chad's Church and surrounded by shops, the square contains the town's war memorial as well as a market cross, stocks, whipping post and fish slabs, from which fish were sold on market days.

Here is the market cross and stocks. Behind this are the fish slabs, I have yet to find the whipping post! Watch this space.
Better watch your step!
