Description

The high walls of Manchester's Strangeways Prison have long contained some of England's most infamous criminals. For over 95 years, it was also the main centre of execution for convicted murderers from the north west. Many notorious figures were hanged at Strangeways, including those who committed heinous crimes such as murder and poisoning. The prison's history is also marked by the stories of lesser-known criminals, as well as the men who carried out the executions. This book brings together all these cases in one volume for the first time, fully researched by Steve Fielding. Fully illustrated with rare photographs, documents and news-cuttings, "Hanged at Manchester" offers a unique insight into the darker side of north west England's history.
