Gibbeting Of Wm. Jobling
Story and Poems by Tom Kelly and Illustrated by Vincent Rea
William Jobling was a striking miner, hanged in 1832 for the murder of Nicholas Fairles, colliery owner and magistrate. After the hanging Jobling's body was removed from the scaffold, covered in pitch, carried through the streets in a cart to be displayed on a gibbet at tidal mudflats of Jarrow Slake. He was one of the last people to be gibbetted in England.
