mudgie49 401 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am sure that I read Canning Circus had a permanent gallows,from the early to late 1700's. Can anyone confirm this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 There was a gallows where St Andrew's church now stands at the junction of Mansfield Road & Forest road. All executions here would have been in public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about a gallows there, but it was definitely a place for burying suicides, who had to be buried at a crossroads.
