Village Pound
Village Pound
This is the circular Town Pound at Pound Green, Freshwater. It dates from the 18th century, has walls 5 feet high and was restored in 2008. It sits within the Pound Green Conservation Area. The 1861 Ordnance Survey map labels this structure as �Pinfold�, although the 1909 map reverts to �Pound�. This is where straying animals would be kept until claimed by the owner upon payment of a fee.
