Winter's Gibbet
by alig
Standing stark on the skyline just above Elsdon village in Northumberland.
A reminder of it's grisly past, when the hardened criminal William Winter, with 2 female accomplices, did murder elderly Margaret Crozier in 1791.
This replacement gibbet stands on the moors rebuilt and moved here in 1867.
Perfect for B&W…

Very atmospheric.

Well done! The low key monochrome is absolutely what the subject needs to create the right emotional response.

Creepy, in a very nice image kinda' way. In the states we have to use hypodermic needles and gas chambers, even now. Pity. -- thanks, tg

Great image - I remember riding up that hill towards the end of a 200km audax in May - rather foreboding. Great image. The GR seems to do very well with b&w
