The Stocks and Market Cross, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire
The earliest record of a market here dates from 1628 but it has been a market place for many centuries. Beggars, vagabonds and wrongdoers would appear before the local Magistrate and, if found guilty, punished the following day at the whipping post or by being set in the stocks. The flat stone slab was the table from which fish was sold.
