Hangman`s noose`Wapping
This eerie scene as at the rear of the The Prospect of Whitby pub in wapping there has been a pub on this site for nearly 500 years!..yes 500....when henry the eighth was king,Wapping was also the site of 'Execution Dock', where pirates and other criminals faced execution by hanging from a gibbet constructed close to the low water mark. Their bodies would be left dangling until they had been submerged by the tide.
