ere I be outside the Clophill Parish -Lock-Up and Pound!

What it says here it sounds like some form of brig! Clap em in irons that's what I say mateys!

So this would be the pound eh? That's why you get the likes of street names like Pound Lane and so on.

A little bit on Clophill from our Wikipedia friends says:

Clophill, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Clopelle; meaning tree-stump Hill in old English, is a small village located in the Flit river valley, Bedfordshire, England. The village has a reputation for the supernatural, and its Flying Horse pub (that be where young 'B' works on a Sundays!) forms part of the legend of Dick Turpin; who reputedly stopped there on en route to York. Of course that there Dick Turpin was a form of pirate -in other words a scurvey dog!
