Immediately afterwards a new grit bin appeared at one end of it, the surprising thing was that it had two hasps on it ready for a couple of padlocks, thinking ahead the powers that be must have known how much in value salt would increase in the area if ever it was used therefore forcing the need for security.

The padlocks never actually were put into position, perhaps because no salt was ever put into the bin, but, if salt had been added it is good to know that they wouldn't have allowed it to be used frivolously.
