We are please to present our next book: Sheffield’s Dark Streets. Again we will be donating any revenues from this book to Sheffield Hospitals Charity.

This book is intended to be the first of a ‘dark’ trilogy about crime and murder in 19th century Sheffield. As the people of the city walk through its streets today, they are unknowingly following the path trodden by a colourful menagerie of criminals buried in its past. Like James Hill who walked hand in hand with his nephew along Moor Street, where the boys mutilated body was later found. The Wicker today is full of shops and restaurants, can you imagine that on this famous landmark, a man decided that his only way out, was to murder his wife and then kill himself?

Does your daily commute take you along Leadmill Road, it was there that James Hall murdered his wife with an axe claiming that she had been unfaithful to him. Only facing death, did the truth finally emerge. Remember that in the 19th century Sheffield had the wealth brought on by the Industrial Revolution, at a time when there was great poverty and privation. Remember that next time you are walking home, alone in the dark that Sheffield’s streets saw its fair share of true crime and murder over the years, and try not to panic if one night you hear footsteps walking behind you…..
