In the 16th, 17th & 18th centuries, there used to be three mass hangings
in London every year (there was a special triangular gallows which could
hang up to 20 people simultaneously).
On the day of the hangings the prisoners would be transported from
Newgate prison to Tyburn Tree Gallows (now known as Hyde Park Corner) which became known as The Journey.
Even during these times the road from Newgate Prison to the Tyburn
Tree Gallows, down Tyburn Road (now called Oxford Street) was a
lively area with salesmen, shoppers & people stopping for a bite to
eat or for a drink.
On execution day many would try to find a seat in the Masons
Arms (a pub in Seymour Place), to get a special view of the prisoners as this was their very last place to stop before being hung.
The City Marshal knew that the utmost care had to be taken at this final stop. It was
a custom for prisoners to have a final drink which soon became known as One for
the road. It was thought the alcohol would numb them before the execution. Even
now, the cellars of the pub still have the manacles on the walls, which shows that
prisoners enjoyed their last pint in unusual conditions.
As they left the pub and
were loaded back onto the
cart, prisoners would shout
to customers Ill buy you
a pint on the way back!
We might think it strange
for people condemned to
death to be cracking jokes,
but it was just one of the
many rituals that made the
day such a spectacle for the
thousands who, at some point, decided to watch. Some, who might have come miles
to see the drop, were determined to have a good time almost as though it was a
holiday or they had gone to a carnival and it was Saint Monday, a long weekend,
after all! These hanging days every year were considered to be the biggest tourist attraction of the day!
