Title: Unusual Name
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on December 20, 2005, 11:26:35

When we were in Sheffield yesterday for the 'CBeebies' show ('Wish Me Luck!' (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=16018))
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.
