THE STOCKS
Warburton stocks are of great antiquity. The stone was quarried either at Lymm or the quarry behind Oughtrington Hall, which also provided the stone for the rebuilding of Lymm Church.
On the South post of the stocks are "scars" which indicate that hand clasps were once fitted and used for whipping purposes.
When stocks were first introduced as a method of corrective punishment, is not clearly known. In 1376 the Commons pleaded Edward III for their establishment in every village. So this dates back 600 years as to their use.
Frequently, one of the posts was also used as a whipping or "Rogues" post, which came into vogue about 1596. Prior to this, it was customary to use a cart tail.
There are stocks in various states of disrepair to be found extant in the villages of Lymm, Partington and further afield at Grappenhall, High Leigh and Mobberley.
In the shot the structure behind was the mount for a cross, long since gone.
If convicted of a crime, in former times, you might be locked in stocks in a public place and possibly pelted with tomatoes, which would have been an interesting picture.

Just on the edge of the Melbourne Central Business District's formal grid of streets, you will find the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens. A haven of green with avenues of elms, lush rolling lawns and beautiful seasonal plantings the gardens are populated with various buildings and points of interest.
One of the latter which divides opinion is the Model Tudor Village. Presented to the people of the city of Melbourne by the grateful citizens of Lambeth in England in 1948, in appreciation of gifts of food dispatched from Victoria to England during the Second World War and in the severe food shortages immediately after the war, the village is either loved and admired, or considered twee. I happen to be one of the former, and I love visiting it several times a year, where I will often spend an hour or more. It never ceases to give me great pleasure, and I often discover new details I have not noticed before as the village sits in its own landscaped miniature countryside.
The Miniature Tudor Village which is situated in the centre of the Fitzroy Gardens, was modelled in cement in 1943 by Mr. Edgar Wilson, a 77 year old pensioner who lived in Hamilton Road, Norwood, London, who carried out the task as a hobby. He built three such villages during his lifetime.
The one he presented to the citizens of Melbourne was officially opened by the Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Councillor Sir Raymond Connelly, on 21st May, 1948. The model buildings represent a typical Kentish village built during the Tudor period of English history. The village is composed of various thatched cottages, a village church complete with stained glass windows made from colourful ornamental tile scraps, a village school, two oast houses used for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process, the Oast Inn, the Pilgrim's Rest, a Toll House, a mill complete with water wheel, barns, stocks, pump, and all public buildings which make up one of the delightful villages. Also included is a scale model of Shakespeare's home and Anne Hathaway’s cottage. The whole village is set amid a miniature sculpted landscape populated with dwarf varieties of trees growing around paths and roads, a babbling brook, a village green and the houses of the village themselves.
Of the three villages presented by Mr. Wilson, the Melbourne village is the only one still complete. Six houses were presented to the Lambeth Council on 27th October 1948 for Vauxhall Park. They were subsequently located on the site laid out by the Borough Engineer, but were damaged and vandalised over the years and they fell into disrepair and were almost lost. Luckily in more recent years they have been restored and are now a treasured part of Vauxhall Park. A set of houses was also given to Lambeth for Brockwell Park. Sadly only one of these remains.
The Fitzroy Gardens was named after Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy (1796-1858), Governor of New South Wales (1846-1851) and Governor-General of the Australian Colonies (1851-1855). The Gardens have a long history of over 150 years, few other capital cities can boast such a significant garden so close to the City's centre. As crown land the City of Melbourne are the custodians to preserve and oversee this magnificent garden, visited by over 2 million local, interstate and international visitors each year, it is one of the major attractions in Melbourne. It features many beautiful statues, a bandstand, the Temple of the Winds, a conservatory and Captain Cook's Cottage.

The dark line is the same standard deviation of stock prices using the prediction that the stock price will not change. The yellow line is the prediction that the stock price will rise as shown in the previous graph. As one can see, the standard deviation is less for stock prices rising. So assuming a stock price will rise is a better prediction than assuming it will stay the same. I'm a bit disappointed -- I had hoped the standard deviation would drop more significantly. And of course, this doesn't really help us pick stocks since it's making the same prediction for every stock, every day, but baby steps!
Vinegar method doesn't work for me! Poor girls got heavy stains from these clothes after wearing them for days, I will wash them with laundry detergent and try later, the other soaked clothes no stain.
醋鹽定色根本無效！這幾件官配還是把娃身染色了，而且蠻嚴重的，所以還是老實地用洗衣粉來洗個幾次吧，洗了過後會再給娃穿幾天，直到不會染色了才算成功。其他洗過的衣服都沒問題。

Stocks are wooden structures used as a method of punishment for petty offences. The offender sat on a wooden bench with his/her ankles trapped in holes in movable boards, sometimes for several hours. Stocks could be seen in every town and village, normally in a central place.
The use of the stocks as a punishment has never expressly been abolished, although the last use was in Rugby in 1865.
