Police Constable Terry Lamblet erects the gallows, which he bought from a retired hangman, in his back garden in Nottingham, England. The gallows, on which five men were hanged, was removed from Cambridge prison after the British Parliament abolished capital punishment in 1969. The bangman, who has not been named, kept it in his cellar and sold it to Constable Lamblet when he had no room for it in his new home.
