Weird Pubs The Noose and Gibbet Inn VR England

97 Broughton Ln, Sheffield S9 2DE

For a minority of convicted murderers the decision was taken to gibbet their body rather than send it for dissection. Spence Broughton whom this pub is hinting heavily towards was not a murderer but postal robber as postal communications was the only way the establishment could communicate, robbing mail couriers was seen in high contempt by judges and deemed ultimate punishments.
