text_original: Stout upright posts, supporting cross beams on the top, were placed at intervals on either side of the yard, and these were decorated, in the most artistic style, with rat traps, man traps, iron lanterns, pulleys, padlocks, chains, trivets, triangles, iron rods, disused street lamps, dismounted cannon, and anchors. Attached to hooks in the cross beam nearest the house hung a row of old horse shoes, while from the centre depended a large rusty bell.
