The Small World Guide to Shoregrave - Drake's Square

The Small World Guide says: In the last century Drake's Square was the site of numerous hangings in the city, including the infamous John Watt hanging. Prior to this, it was the site of the city's gibbets, which still hang there today. It is estimated that almost three hundred men and women have died in the Square since the scaffolding was built in 1818, making it one of the most haunted spots in Shoregrave. Midnight ghost tours are a perfect way to spy the spirits of hanged men and hear the wails of the damned. If you're brave enough.

Yasmin Stoker says: After an hour, we were in Drake's Square, a bleak stretch of grey concrete in the centre of which stood the ancient stone gallows. On either side of the gallows hung metal gibbets, creaking in the wind and stained rusty with blood. As always, I felt a shiver creep down my spine as we approached ... This was the undead heart of Shoregrave, a place of wicked power.
