Book First Edition
Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. First edition. Softcover. The author's great, great grandfather was shot down in a pub in Temple Street back in 1895. Subsequently, research gradually opened up a fascinating window into life and death in Birmingham at the start of the 20th century. It was not only his ancestors that had to come to terms with a sudden loss. Life in Victorian and Edwardian society was often difficult and frequently tragic. Long working hours, poverty and cheap gin put an intolerable stress on the people of the city and sometimes this burst out in violence. The city Coroner had his work cut out deciding whether the victim was murdered, had an accident or simply buckled under pressure and ended it all in the canal. Sometimes he found the smoking gun or bloodstained axe, but in other cases the witnesses vanished, ranks closed, and to this day we are no wiser about the sad end of some servant girl. Illus., Sources + Index. 174pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.

Book First Edition
Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First edition. Softcover. The book starts with the mysterious murder of Mary Ashford in 1817 and follows a trail of mayhem through the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the controversial execution of the young James Farrell in 1949. These accounts of our past are drawn from contemporary newspapers and periodicals, reflecting the way our attitudes to different crimes and punishments have changed over the years. The long debate about capital punishment is brought into focus by the public reaction to each new death sentence. Unlike the first volume, almost every case examined concludes on the scaffold. The crimes are a horrific catalogue of man's inhumanity to man. The stories encompass jealousy, lust, anger and greed - some things just never change. The city itself gradually grew from the green fields of Erdington that Mary Ashford knew, to the grim warrens of back-to-backs that housed Harry Jones and other ne'er-do-wells, but underneath normal city life there has always been those few crazed characters ready to explode into a lethal frenzy. They have carved themselves a place in local history, usually with a wickedly sharp knife. Here, too, are the vicious thugs whose violenct robberies left widows and orphans in their wake, whether in the 1830s or 1930s. Of course, times have changed, but whether it's a knife, a flintlock pistol or a revolver, the stories have a haunting familiarity to the present day. Illus., Select Bibliog. and Index. 183pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
