About this title

Synopsis:

Uncover the brutal, untold story of Salford’s most feared 19th-century street gangs — the Scuttlers.

Long before modern gang culture took root, the streets of Salford and Manchester were ruled by fierce, working-class youth gangs known as the Scuttlers. Gangs of Salford: The Real Story of the Scuttlers delves deep into the true origins, battles, and rise of this violent subculture.

Drawing from historical records, eyewitness accounts, and local lore, David Moore brings to life a raw and gripping portrait of gang warfare in Victorian Britain — long before the Krays or Peaky Blinders. This is the real, unfiltered history of the young men who ruled the cobbled streets with fists, belts, and blades.

Whether you're a fan of true crime, British history, or urban sociology, this book offers a chilling and fascinating glimpse into a forgotten world that shaped modern gang culture.

“Gritty, detailed, and absolutely compelling.”
