Opis

Weymouth has been a major sea port on England's south coast since the Middle Ages and although it became a popular resort through King George III's patronage and later when the railways arrived, the area also developed a strong military presence in the nineteenth century with barracks being built in Weymouth and a new naval dockyard developed on the nearby Isle of Portland. A convict prison was opened on Portland and is still a prison today. In this book author Mick Davis explores some of the most notorious crimes associated with Weymouth and Portland through the ages, including a gang of children running wild who terrorised Victorian Weymouth, the tragic shooting of a barmaid by a deluded admirer, the murder of a sailor pushed off a cliff on Portland by a fellow sailor, and many more.

This collection of true-life crime stories gives a vivid insight into life in Weymouth and Portland in the past. This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime as well as those who want to know more about the history of Weymouth and Portland.
