Punished At Barking Fair
No public whipping in this vintage reenactment photo, but it’s not very hard to imagine:
This is captioned “Barking Fair: The Stocks.” Whether the fair in question was where the reenactment happened or was the event being reenacted is not made clear. Barking itself is said to have a history of fairs and markets dating back to the 12th century.
