This week On Tales we take a slight detour from the Polaris Expedition: I think where that Tale goes IS shocking, but not terribly in a Halloween horror kind of way… So this week we’re taking a ride to the town of Halifax, England to meet The Halifax Gibbet - someone’s wild solution to petty thievery.

We’ll return to The Polaris in a fortnight.

Content warnings: Beheadings.
Sources Include: Daniel Defoe’s A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain.
Samuel Midgley & William Bentley’s Halifax and It’s Gibbet Law Placed in A True Light
