When we were in Sheffield yesterday for the 'CBeebies' show ('Wish Me Luck!')
We passed a pub on the way into the car-parking. I knew about it having seen it before, but forgotten (& no camera)
It's rather quaintly called the 'Noose & Gibbet', it features a dummy in a cage swinging from the gibbet.
They've got some nice customs in Sheffield, pity it can't be re-introduced :x

Caxton Gibbet, just outside Papworth in Cambs, still has the original Gibbet right by the  roadside.

there is a road in halifax named gibbet street, as this was the traditional location of the town chopper!

however the area is known to be not particularly safe unless you are of tanned complexion, so i shant be taking any pics myself!
