I then had to find Holly Walk to have a look at the Watch House mentioned above and here it is:

I have to say I found this whole area fascinating - I wonder how wealthy you have to be to live there!

Interesting piece of history. Worth visiting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that the phrase "lock-up" was a noun with a place, actual bars on the window. Very interesting! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like it would be impossible to break out of that lock-up. Very secure.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing I miss living on this side of the pond...the history
ReplyDeleteIt makes me claustrophobic to think of being locked up in a garden wall. I guess I will just behave myself!
ReplyDeleteBrrr, a bad place to be locked up.
ReplyDeleteNice brick work, but I wouldn't want to be locked in either!
ReplyDeleteGreat discovery. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat great old buildings. My city didn't exist back then!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm glad I don't need to spend any time in that first one - although it's rather charming on the outside, I bet the inside is miserable...
