Take another look at the area\u2019s most photographed scenes at twilight and you\u2019ll see our otherwise most familiar landmarks in a whole different light. We cast our photographer, Dean Fisher into the night with a camera, tripod – and flask of strong coffee – to conduct a nocturnal study of the area…<\/h3>\n

The George of Stamford\u2019s presence is still\u00a0acknowledged by a sign over High Street St Martin\u2019s, which takes the form of gallows.\u00a0At the peak of its coaching inn role, in the C18th, the hotel would see over 40 coaches\u00a0as day pass through the town. It\u2019s thought that the presence of gallows would deter would-be highwaymen like Dick Turpin, and Tom King, who menaced travellers and declared \u2018your money or your life!\u2019 At that time, travelling\u00a0from York to London took no fewer than\u00a0four days. The fare was 25 shillings, and\u00a0travellers were permitted 14.5lbs of baggage!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
