OUR Red Rose county has played host to some of the most gruesome and devious murders in history.
From shootings to poisonings and strangulations to hangings; the history of Lancashire is entrenched with murderous stories that are hard to believe.
Now author Alan Hayhurst has written a sequel to his first Lancashire Murders book, delving into newspapers, sourcing the National Archives, some of which have never been made available to the public before and other vital documents of the time to shed light on the county’s more unusual and horrifying crimes.
More Lancashire Murders is published by the History Press and costs £14.99.
