In todays video I went in search of the Halifax Gibbet. An early execution device, which may have inspired the french guillotine. It potentially dates back to the 1200s and was used for punishing and detering theives.
Can you believe that the last execution by the French guillotine took place the same year the first Star Wars movie came out...1977! That fact blows my mind. But by the time the guillotine was introduced in the 1700s, the Gibbet had already been banned from use.
It was on Gibbet Street in Halifax, in Yorkshire. Halifax was incredibly wealthy throughout the industrial revolution, so this video is both a look at its boody history and a tour of its remaining industrial heritage.
I hope you enoy this fun historical tour today.
Until next time,
W.T
