pound, Beccles

Placeholder for pound, Beccles white plaque

This pound was for confining all lost stray animals, particularly the horse. An impounded horse was very valuable being the solve means of transport, which demanded a substantial release fee to be paid to the Town Council. For many centuries this has been the site of the Pound and it was rescued in 1982 by the Town Council, Beccles Society and Voluntary subscriptions.
