    About this ebook

    This chilling collection of cases brings together true-life historical murders that shocked not only the town of Bury but also made headline news across the country. Amongst those featured are a drunk who murdered a ploughman for loose change in 1866, a young boy who had his head smashed in by his furious grandfather in 1900, 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.
