Description

This book looks at news stories from the County's past which made the national press in their day. Some caused scandal and outrage; others excitement and celebration. All of them were front page news in the era before the arrival of radio and television. They include the horrors of the railway crash at Royston in 1866, the fight to save the poisoner Mary Ansell from the hangman's noose in 1899 and the riots at Watford over the postponement of the Coronation in 1902.
