Old wooden stocks and whipping post in the village of Ufford in Suffolk, Eastern England. Of course, these are not the originals but it is known that there were stocks and a whipping post in Ufford in 1680. The use of stocks was outlawed in 1837 but whipping posts were not abolished until 1948. Stocks (which restrained only the feet) and whipping posts were used for crimes such as drunkenness, petty theft, disobedience (servants), Sabbath breaking, gambling, vagrancy, wife beating - and even travelling musicians and fortune tellers could find themselves chained in the stocks and being pelted with unsavoury items!

Aerial view of the Obelisk on Killiney Hill in Wicklow-Ireland, Killiney Obelisk, popular tourist destinations in ireland, people enjoy the view next to the monument on the hill, view hill\n\nThe Killiney Obelisk was built in 1742 to commemorate what is described as ‘the Year of the Slaughter’ or Ireland’s forgotten famine. In 1740 there was an incredibly cold winter which was followed by a severe summer of rain and floods. This wiped out the crops and killed off livestock. The following winter was again BALTIC with temperatures not getting above minus 10 for a month. It was so cold that small vessels were destroyed by icebergs on the River Liffey, street lamps could not be lit plunging towns and villages into darkness and food riots were common throughout the land. Many of the oldest trees were also felled for fuel and sickness was common all over. Reports suggest that up to 480,000 may have people died during this forgotten famine.  A small number of rich landlords like John Malpas of Killiney Hill and Kathryn Connolly of Castletown House commissioned famine relief projects like this one to provide employment to destitute families. Ironically this monument now overlooks the wealthiest part of Ireland.
