Talk:Village lock-up

Village Lock-up Association
Not sure if this organisation is still active but they attempted to create a register of all known lock-ups (sadly no online access to them): The Village Lock-up Association 7 Inch's Yard, Market Street, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 5DP Tel: +00 44 (0)1635-42864, Fax: +00 44 (0)1635-552366 Robdav69, 20 July 2006.

The organisation does still exist but access to records and papers are strictly by written appointment - AP 16 Oct 2007

The VLA has moved to Ringway House, Kelvin Road, Newbury RG14 2DB. Its one-million word initial report was presented to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in 2007, and is now being prepared for publication in 2017 - AP 21 Aug 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.225.105 (talk) 07:12, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Scotland and Ireland
I think there maybe similar lock-ups in Scotland and Ireland, if you can contribute to this theory please amend the article and add to the list. Robdav69, 20 July 2006.

Copyright Approval
I have spoken to the writer and researcher of the pamphlet for which some of the text in this article is taken (Goff) and he informs me it is copyright free and is a public document produced and printed by North West Leicestershire Council and is intended to be circulated as widely as possible. He's a nice bloke who lives in my village and has the key to our roundhouse - I'm sure he would put me in it if he thought I had infringed any copyright laws. Robdav69, june 13, 2006

List of lock-ups in UK
I have started a list of places where lock-ups can be found. This is incomplete and would benefit if other wikipedians and people with local knowledge could add more villages where lock-ups of this type exist.

Robdav69 - This may prove to be a duplication of the list that was prepared by the Village Lock-Up Association, something that cost over £55,000 to complete. However, there is always hope of finding something new - lets compare lists sometime.

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE to rogue editors of this article
Wikipedia expects you to sign up before making edits and for you to flag any changes using your username with 4 tilds (~).

I have re-written this article because an unknown user(s) added spurious content that went into the history of imprisonment and punishment beyond the article focus - please read about Wiki articles before making such changes. They also went on about a specific building in London which I would suggest is turned into an article in its own right (The Tun). Very interesting stuff but not central to the subject matter of existent village lock-ups. Robdav69 18:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear AP
The beauty of Wiki is that it is open to all and is free. Adding your list of existing village lock-ups to this article would be most welcome - I have found most locations from google searches and travels around the UK. Robdav69 18:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
