Can anyone tell me if many of the iron railings in Brixham are still all bent or broken?
My great-great-great-grandfather broke the railings... and someone told me that ten years ago they were still bent!
Chas Jones (as g-g-g-grandfather was named) was out for an early morning walk one day, when he found a young lad impaled on the railings. He lifted the boy off the railings and made sure he got medical attention... But so incensed was he that such an accident could happen, he went wandering around Brixham breaking and bending all the pointed railings so no-one else would be hurt.
He did actually get arrested for it too!
