The Gallows (38/365)

Did you know that hidden behind an old wooden door within Gallery5 resides one of Richmond's original gallows?  A place where, once upon a time, Richmond's criminals faced their death.  I am left only to wonder who may haunt this dark, musty shaft.

  3. Freaky. I don't think I could have managed hanging out in such a place, not even long enough to snap a quick photo.

  4. No vibes...
    It's closed off and you really wouldn't know it was there unless someone told you...but, now all of you will be looking for it at your next visit to G5!
