Victorian Oakham Rope making in the work houses

During the times of the Victorian work houses rope was made in  Oakham.

A lady from English Heritage was interested to know if the hooks  used to dry the ropes were still fixed to town buildings.

I asked at the Rutland County Museum as normal they know nothing!

I took a look around town and spotted on three buildings a number of these old hooks does anyone know if these would be the hooks used?
