More about this scene
A four-hour period in the stocks was the usual reward for misdemeanours such as blasphemy, drunkenness, vagrancy or breaking the Sabbath. The whipping post has iron manacles of three different sizes to fit all comers! They are shown here against the northern wall of the Bridewell in The Bury, which was purpose-built in 1743 as a prison or house of correction; by 1847 it had become a police station.
