EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Old Shoeing Stocks on the picturesque island of Herm, located in the Channel Islands and part of the Parish of St Peter Port in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time. The Old Shoeing Stocks, also known as the "Haerme Shoes," served as a punishment tool used by blacksmiths to correct the misbehavior of islanders. The large, imposing structure, with its iron shoes and shackles, stands as a testament to the island's rich history and traditions. The rugged terrain and rocky coastline of Herm are visible in the background, adding to the sense of isolation and tranquility. The Old Shoeing Stocks have long been a subject of fascination for visitors to the island, and this photograph offers a unique and intriguing perspective. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and the stories that lie within these historic shores.
