If you count the holes in the stocks you'll notice there are five
This is reputed to be because a one legged man and two other people were out drinking and cause a nuisence (etc) and were then locked up and punished here
Stocks are devices used internationally, in medieval, Renaissance and colonial American times as a form of physical punishment involving public humiliation. The stocks partially immobilized its victims and they were often exposed in a public place such as the site of a market to the scorn of those who passed by. Since the purpose of putting offenders in the stocks was to expose them to ridicule and mockery, passers-by were encouraged to throw mud, rotten eggs, moldy fruit and vegetables, smelly fish, offal, and excrement (both animal and human) at those being punished.
View south-east near the eastern boundary of Carleton Cemetery, Carleton, Blackpool. Walker’s Farm/Hill House would have been on the right behind the broken concrete fence and the four tree trunks. I am stood on what was the course of the old footpath. Friday 22 January 2021
I was going to walk up to the fence however the ground was very boggy due to all the recent rain so I shall explore more during the long hot summer of 2021.
CARLETON – BISPHAM VILLAGE (LONG VANISHED DIRECT FOOTPATH)
In the olden days when it was just fields between Carleton and Bispham village there was a footpath that linked the two communities, over time as the land was developed this path disappeared. The route of the footpath is described below:
Stocks Lane commences at the junction with Blackpool Road B5268, it is the lane that you go down to Carleton Crematorium which continues north for a short distance past the left turn in to the crematoriums private driveway located opposite the southern end of Robbins Lane.
Stocks Lane was originally longer than it is now with the footpath to Bispham village commencing at Walker’s Farm (also known as Hill House) the path ran alongside the lane on the north side of it in a westerly direction through what is now Carleton Cemetery. Just west of the current western boundary of the cemetery the lane ended and only the footpath continued north-west to where Bristol Avenue is now. The path then turned north crossing a watercourse via a foot stick (footbridge) and continued north through what is now the recycling centre (formerly the destructor) it then then turned sharp left and ran parallel on the southern side of what is now Wakefield Road (cul-de-sac). From this point it continued west crossing todays Ashfield Road and roughly along the current back garden boundary fences of properties on Buxton Avenue and Denstone Avenue until reaching todays Bangor Avenue where it turned north-west coming out on to Blackpool Road just north of Myrtle Bank (todays junction with Denstone Avenue). You then continued north for a short distance along Blackpool Road to reach Bispham Village.

The first improvement one could make on the accuracy of our predictions is assuming that stocks go up over time. I decided in an attempt to avoid data mining, I will look at half of the stocks and use those for predictions, and the other half will be the ones I predict. That way, I won't be using IBM's future stock prices as a way to predict IBM's past stock prices. There is a bit of weirdness though, since I might be using Microsoft's stock prices from the 1990's to predict IBM's stock prices in the 1970's, but I think that won't significantly affect the results.
Now, the S&P 500 is made up of a whole bunch of companies that are supposed to represent most every industry in the United States. I thought about trying to have some of each industry in each half, but then I decided that was far too much work. Instead, I have it grab every other stock from the list. I suppose there's some chance that certain industries aren't represented equally in the test group. C'est la vie.
Anyway, this is what the prediction group did over 12 months on average. Wouldn't it be nice if you could gain 25+% a year on average?
These are the Stocks in the market square just down the road from where I Iive. The village was once quite a notorious place in times gone by and they were well used.
The old stocks in Little Houghton,Northants...maybe we can get a certain AFC Wimbledon player to spend an hour or two here next saturday to prevent him scoring the inevitable goal or 3 against NTFC!....Oct 29 2014.
As punishment, people sat on the bench in the background and their feet were clamped into place. .Not comfortable at all. Apparently they don't make these Dave-sized.
I arrived in Colonial Williamsburg after all the exhibits closed for the afternoon, but it was a good time to wander around and take photos of buildings as there weren't many tourists around.

Modern reconstruction of the stocks at Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate, York. The original stocks are now inside the church (see my other pic). Stocks have been used since Anglo-Saxon times to punish minor offences. The criminals' ankles were fastened into the holes and the public could throw rotting food, mud, dead rats, stones, etc. at them. There were 6 holes in the original set of stocks - the end was damaged and it lost a hole. This is a copy of the damaged version. The little roof is to protect the exhibit, not to keep criminals' feet dry!
The Stocks family (most of whom seem to have been called Michael) resided at Upper Shibden Hall - though it latter years they seem to have spent more time at Wood Hall in Hilgay (near Downham Market), Norfolk! The family never really grew, and died out in Norfolk (well at least as far as male members)!

#SmallCapStocks are undoubtedly more risky than that of the other #stocks. It is a common fact that an #investment instrument with a higher rate of return usually comes with an involvement of a higher risk factor as well. goo.gl/rq6xYH
In the stocks in this Classic Colonial Williamsburg view, 1967. My friend Rick and I on a high school tour of the USA. At this time, the stocks were located at the Gaol rather than at the Courthouse of 1770.
Everything old is new again. Rick's plaid shorts are in style again. The outfit worn by the woman in the background (black tank top and Capris) could be from today.
Might have been the "standard" vacation photo in the 1950s. They have one of me (sitting) in stocks in Plymouth, later the same year, I think. Photo by Lois Reed.

Amelia escaped from the stocks and posed for this photo!
The 405 A.D. Act of Parliament decreed ‘that every town or seignory shall provide a pair of stocks’. If they
failed to do this the town would be charged a penalty of 100 shillings. The ancient stocks in the village
green are a good example of the punishment used in earlier times. They were positioned at this location,
near the church, so that the offenders could be watched and were there as a warning to passers by.
