More about this scene
It is Saturday in Kingston Market Place, and swarms of shoppers have descended to see the fresh produce on offer that might supplement the wartime rationing that was still in force. Did many of these people consider that the Market Place was the scene for punishment of miscreants in the past? In 1572 'rogues and vagabonds' were whipped around the market place and their ears branded. The stocks and pillory were placed beside the Town Hall, which later became the Market Hall.
