More about the book

The narrative explores Derby's tumultuous history, marked by violence, vice, and despair. From its Roman foundations built on the suffering of Britons to its Viking destruction and Saxon corruption, the city has endured relentless turmoil. The sixteenth century saw heretics persecuted, while the seventeenth was plagued by disease. The arrival of industrialization in the eighteenth century introduced new horrors, compounded by Scottish invasions and rampant crime. The city’s dark legacy culminated in the devastation of World War II, painting a grim portrait of Derby's past.
