BLOODY EARLSDON

This pocket-sized walking guidebook by local historian Adam Wood gives step by step directions to visit locations where dark deeds have been committed in Earlsdon’s distant past.

Highlights include:

• The house where a young girl chopped up the body of her newborn baby in a desperate attempt to dispose of the evidence of her sin.

• A thrilling chase of burglars around a number of jetties by wronged housewives.

• The labourer who loved his pig a little too much.

• The IRA bomb victim whose family had long-standing ties with Earlsdon’s Albany Club.

• Wrongdoing in the notorious ‘Elsdon Jetty’.

• The man who poisoned his mother with a glass of wine.

• The Private Detective’s office on Poplar Road.

And that’s not to mention the butcher of Earlsdon Street who was summonsed for slapping one of his customers in the face when she dared ask him to hurry along.
