Market Cross, Barnard Castle.
Met the inlaws for coffee and cakes and a wander round this rather nice little town.
From 'barnardcastlelife.co.uk':-
Built in 1747. The veranda was the market for butter and dairy produce. Inside the heavy piers supporting the upper structure were enclosed to form a jail.
Two holes in the vane were pierced by bullets fired in response to a challenge in 1804. by two local marksmen from the door of the Turk's Head, a range of 100 yards.
Go large to see the bullet holes.
