Site: Tyburn tree - pavement plaque (1 memorial)

carries a report of the fixing of a memorial stone at this location, but not the current plaque which was installed in 1964. Â There we learn that in 1759 the permanent gallows was taken down and thereafter "executions were carried out on a moveable gallows, erected, as required, in varying positions In the immediate locality." Â Could it have been on wheels?
has a vivid description of the last journey, from Newgate to this place of execution.
