This absorbing collection of some of the foulest deeds from
Rotherham's past promises to interest anyone who is unaware of this
forgotten part of the town's character. With stories ranging from
child murders to brutal stabbings, the misdemeanours that are
revealed promise to shock and fascinate in equal measure. While
some of these felonies are unjustifiable, much of Rotherham's crime
was the result of the desperate poverty that many of the area's
inhabitants experienced. Illustrated with both rare images and
archive reports, this volume shows just how difficult life in
Victorian England was for those who had nowhere else to turn.
Written by local author Margaret Drinkall, a true crime expert,
this book tackles a subject that many would prefer to ignore, but
which remains an important part of Rotherham's history.
