A Blip In The Fens

Drunk and Disorderly

This is the old village lock up of a neighbouring village. It was built in 1838 and temporarily housed/imprisoned the local drunks or felons before they could be moved to larger accommodation.

It's actually smaller on the inside than it looks from the outside. There's a bench that I reckon you could sit barely two people on, so I hope they didn't have too many "busy" nights.

I hasten to add it's no longer in use...but maybe it should be???
