We are delighted to announce the publication of the 4th Lockdown Book of Rotherham\u2019s Criminals. I think you\u2019ll find that in this book we have found some of the best cases yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read about the exploits of \u2018Rotherham Bob\u2019 who was a character well known to the people of the town. At election times he would dress up in his rainbow finery and prance through the town, begging for money which he spent drinking in the local pubs. (This will also be found in the Rotherham Advertiser this week!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is also a shocking account of a child murder at the Crinoline Bridge, which could have been one of the earliest instances of Victorian baby farming. You will also uncover the strange account of a visitor to the town from Birmingham, who was somehow poisoned, but when she died, no inquest or police investigation was held in Rotherham. Why? Only when her husband heard rumours that she had been poisoned and demanded an inquest in Birmingham, was the case fully explored…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As before all royalties from this and the other Lockdown Books will be donated to the Rotherham NHS. To find the book, just follow this link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
