Bloody British History: Manchester
About this book
Manchester has one of the darkest histories in Britain. From the Screaming Skull of Wardley Hall to an epidemic of deadly factory fires in the 18th and 19th centuries, you will find all manner of horrible events inside this book. With coffins washed from their graves and swept away into the city after the River Medlock burst its banks, and the streets of Salford, Gorton, and Openshaw overrun by gangs in the latter quarter of the 19th century, as well as murders, riots, battles, and plagues, the grimmest events in Manchester's history are all here for you to explore. Read this gory and glorious book . . . if you dare!
