Swanage Lock-up + 2 PiPs
There are many hidden gems to discover in Swanage and this is one that I found last year, behind the Town Hall. ~ Opened in 1803 this lock-up was formerly in the churchyard, but moved to rear of town hall in Swanage. It operated until 1899. The sign above the door says, Erected for the prevention of Vice & Immorality by The Friends of Religion and Good Order A.D. 1803.
Two PiPs.

I would not have thought Swanage could ever have been a den of vice with a building of such small dimensions built to hold them!!!!!
Was it replaced by something more modern in 1899?
Have a good week ahead
Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Ecobird:
May be after 1899 the friends of religion and good
order just gave up! ;-))
I hope you also have a good new week Carol.
