Anyone familiar with the town of Burton Upon Trent may associate it
with one thing above all else - brewing. Hardly surprising when you
consider that at its peak, around a quarter of all of the beer in
the UK was produced there. What many people don’t realise,
however, is that this Staffordshire town has a diverse history that
dates back to the Roman period. Later, it had the most important
monastery in Staffordshire, and its medieval bridge was the scene
of two significant battles in 1322 and again during the English
Civil War. Burton was also home to the powerful Paget family and
the Peel family who played a significant role in the Industrial
Revolution. It should be no surprise that the echoes of this
town’s long and varied past can be heard and seen in the form of
countless ghost sightings. These range from fleeting glimpses of
opaque figures crossing roads and the chiming of bells from
churches long since demolished, to the more sinister visions of
murderous monks, and of the recently deceased rising from their
graves to torment the townspeople. Paranormal Burton Upon Trent
takes you on a spooky tour from the heart of Burton to the
surrounding parishes of Repton, Hanbury, Newton Solney and Church
Gresley in which readers will encounter exclusive reports from real
Paranormal Investigators who have spent over a decade studying this
town’s many spirits, and uncover historical events including the
accident that resulted in the world’s largest-ever man-made
non-nuclear explosion. The book combines well-known local legends
with first-hand encounters from current residents to provide the
most in-depth account of Burton’s Haunted Heritage to date.
