Description

Dark Crimes of Jarrow reveals the lesser-known side of Victorian and Edwardian Jarrow. This town's rapid transformation from small market town to industrial powerhouse brought both opportunities and hardships, leading to a darker underbelly of crime. The Jarrow Express chronicled tales of murder, manslaughter, brawls, and theft in the town during this period. The book delves into these stories, including an attempted murder that ended in a hero's funeral, a violent confrontation that left two dead and seven wounded, and a tragic love triangle that ended outside Palmers Shipyard. This collection of true-life crime stories offers a vivid insight into the history of Jarrow during this time.
