Close-up of the Town Crier in action close to King's Square, St George's, during a historical re-enactment of a public ducking A town crier is a person who is employed by a town council to make public announcements in the streets. The crier can also be used in court or official announcements. Criers often dress elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, in a red and gold robe, white breeches, black boots and a tricorne hat. On Kings Square the attractive Town Hall (1782) overlooks the pillory and stocks which today are reduced to serve as a tourist photo-op. Gossiping, in the old days, could get you dunked in the harbour with the ducking stool to be humiliated alongside other petty offenders. The ducking is still performed, albeit only for show.
