GATE WAS A PRISON WINDOW.

1t is not often that a gate is made
out of a window, much less out of a
prison window; but the gate of st.
Cedd's churchyard. Canning Town,
East London, was at one time a win
dow in old Newgate prison. Many
people wonder at the size of the gate,
but when they hear its curious his
tory and the use to which it was put
in years gone by they understand the
reason of its massive dimensions.

cannot keep tab on it any more than

named because OF it's purr being diff

know why a cat purrs, but very few
know how it purrs.
