Taking you through the year day by day, The Bury Book of Days
contains quirky, eccentric, shocking, amusing and important events
and facts from different periods in the history of the town. Ideal
for dipping into, this addictive little book will keep you

Beatrix Potter Country features one continuous tour split into
stages for the more adventurous, as well as short walks in each
area associated with Beatrix Potter and her work, which will be
suitable for families. The tour is split into seperate sections for
convenience, to enable those who wish to do each leg of the tour
during seperate visits to the Lakes. At the end of the book there
is a quick route finder, which simply describes the route of the
tour without additional information. At the end of each section a
short family walk is included. The route of the tour is low level,
as this was how Beatrix Potter saw the area - she was no fell
walker. William Wordsworth also mostly saw the Lakes from low level
routes. This is both a functional and an interesting read. Some of
the information is unique to this book and comes from local people
who have had stories passed down through their families.
This chilling collection of cases brings together true-life

a woman roasted alive on a fire by her enraged husband in 1901, and
a troubled man who shot his neighbour for no apparent reason in
1914. Illustrated with modern photographs and archive material,
Bury Murders is sure to fascinate both residents and visitors alike
as these shocking events of the past are revealed for a new
generation.
