This latest collection of Chilling True Tales visits the Lancashire coastal regions to reveal the tramua and tragedy of events from a bygone era. Visit the Lancashire shores that stretched from Morecambe's Bay down to the River Mersey as the county became a busy and a bustling region bordering on the Irish Sea.
Whether it be a black day in Blackpool, a shocking event in Southport, misery in the Mersey or a lamentable event at Lytham it is brought to life within the pages of this book.
Before the sun rose, or after it set, these events got local tongues waging and heads shaking in disbelief. Crime and criminals were never far from the shores as the ever expanding rail network made the coastal resorts popular amongst Lancashire folk.
Read about the trauma engulfing the day tripper and the horror that faced the holidaymaker as they ventured from the cotton towns to enjoy their taste of freedom.
The mischief maker and the murderer all had their moment of infamy on the north west shores and those found guilty faced the harshness of the penal system designed to deter the wrongdoer.
Make no mistake these headline making tales of yesteryear are every bit as real as events of the present day.
