Bacup Stocks
This set of stocks was used between 1749 and 1850 to immobilise and publicly humiliate those convicted of committing certain crimes in the east Lancashire town of Bacup (“Valley by A Ridge”). They were discovered during excavations in nearby Tongue Lane in 1974 and put on public display in 1976. They are a grade II listed structure and are located at the “Wall of History”, beside Yorkshire Street in the town centre.
