''From Hell, Hull and Halifax, may the Good Lord preserve us''
''From Hell, Hull and Halifax, may the Good Lord preserve us''
[[Hell]] is self explanatory, [[Hull]] mysterious (and maybe added for the sound of it), but Halifax was feared by thieves because of the rigorous nature of justice practiced in the town. It is the only town in England known to have used a form of [[guillotine]] to execute criminals. The Halifax guillotine - somewhat older than the French version - was known as the 'gibbet', and can still be seen standing on a quiet street as hort way from the town centre.
