I was hoping someone could shed some light as to the location of the gallows that stood in Hexham, gallows bank I believe led to it but where it was I can’t find any info , thanks
The exact location is a bit of a mystery, I’m afraid. Although the the assumption is that it was somewhere up Gallows Bank, it does not appear on Wood’s map – the earliest of the town, and Wright’s 1823 History of Hexham makes no mention of it.
