The image is a photograph of a green plaque attached to a wooden fence. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has white text on it. The text reads "Stow Whipping Irons: The left hand irons are dated 1789 and have a makers stamp mark showing the letters W.H. The initials of the maker of the irons, records show that about 1600 a William Hill carried on the business of Stow Village Blacksmith." The plaque appears to be old and weathered, with some rust and peeling paint visible on the edges. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a grassy field.
