Default Braid Gibbett

I have been looking with no success for information regarding a film from the late 70s which featured the now long gone pole about 50 yards north of the old green boat shed on the Braid. Each morning and night for about a month around 1978 I saw from the school bus a replica gibbett attached to said pole with a cage hanging from it. I was told it was to do with - William Jobling, from Jarrow, was the last man to be gibbeted in England in August, 1832
Anyone recall this film prop?
