This volume collects together the most shocking criminal cases from
Sheffield's Victorian newspapers. These grisly cases will transport
the horrified reader back to a time where horse-drawn carriages
clattered through the streets of the city, and the town's gin
palaces and music halls teemed with thieves, drunkards and fallen
women. In an age where the gap between rich and poor was enormous,
crime was understandably rife - and the penalties for it dreadful.
Filled with infamous historical cases - including grave robbing,
murder, poisoning, bigamy, and daring jewel and garrotte robberies
- and richly illustrated with photographs from private collections
and from the local archives, Sheffield Crimes will fascinate
residents, visitors and historians alike.
