More about the book
Set against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, the book delves into the grim realities faced by migrants in Bradford, where overcrowding and poverty were rampant. It explores how the pervasive influence of alcohol contributed to a rise in crime, particularly murder, during this tumultuous period (1857-1897). Utilizing vivid contemporary newspaper accounts, the narrative sheds light on the lives of those marginalized by society, many of whom were left with little more than unmarked graves as their legacy.
