River Frome Millstream and Dorchester Prison
Up above the river on the left is the old gate to the prison which is difficult to see due to its elevation. It is here that public executions used to take place with the crowds gathered below.

North Square Dorchester
A modern development of flats now stands at the top of Friary Hill. The Square was once known as Bull Stake Square which was also Hardy's name for it. When he was sixteen he once witnessed a public hanging of a woman outside the prison gates in the area which is now the prison carpark - the edge is just visible on the left.
