Proof House
The Proof House is a low brick yard where River Armourers' Lane ends, marked by a crowned barrel above its gate. Proof-Master Hester Ackroyd fires barrels from behind a wall with an extra heavy charge and stamps the survivors for a shilling. Those that burst hang in rows on the wall, labelled by maker.
