Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Very slight crease to corner back cover. This book looks at a series of 'horrid crimes' which took place in the county over a period of 150 years. Against a background of great social change, the author, has gone back into Surrey's past to find stories of violent death. They range from the unknown sailor who was hacked to death on the loney heathlands of Hindhead in 1786, to a poisonous crime of passion in respectable Byfleet in 1924, and the last fatal duel to be fought in England. Here too are the men who spend their lives fighting crime. Inspector Donaldson paid the ultimate price when he was killed by railway navvies in 1855, while Inspector William Biddlecombe was a man ahead of his time in the art of criminal detection.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. . The leaders in the field were the smugglers of Kent and Sussex, closest to both the Continental suppliers and the profitable London markets. Large bands such as the Mayfield, Groombridge and Hawkhurst Gangs controlled the business, often resorting to blackmail, exortion and murder. In the long struggle between the free traders and the various preventive services there was villainy and violence, as well as skill and courage on both sides. Who would suspect today the battles which raged on the seafront at Bexhill, along the main streets of Worthing or in sedate London suburbs? The author's book describes the industry in detail along each section of the coast, explaining the methods used and introducing the characters involved. For those wishing to follow the various smuggling tracks for themselves there are suggestions for places to visit after each chapter. Her book is a vivid portrait of a trade which even today is remembered with awe tinged with more than a little affection. Illustrated. 176 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

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 horros of the railway crash at Royston in 1866, the fight to save poisoner Mary Ansell from the hangman's noose in 1899, the riots at Watford over the postponement of the Coronation in 1902, the fury at the hopeless inadequacy of fire fighting equipment when Gaddesden Place went up in flames in 1905, and the jubiliation that followed the shooting down of 'Zeppelin' SLII over Potters Bar in 1916. Richard Whitmore has been collecting news stories and early photographs of Hertfordshire since he was a junior reporter on the Hertfordshire Express in the early 1950s. As one of the nation's favourite newsreaders, his face became known to millions. His book makes fascinating reading as he brings to life the drama of early news coverage in Hertfordshire.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Revised and Reprinted. Paperback. Tiny tippex mark to bottom edge of back cover. The coast of Sussex has proved a graveyard for many fine ships through the centuries. Some have been destroyed in the terrible gales which can blow along its exposed shores. Others have been victims of fire, collision, war, bad luck and bad judgement. This book tells the stories behind some of the most spectacular and unusual of these disasters. Only one sailor managed to reach the shore alive when H.M.S. Brazen broke up on a submerged rock below the cliffs of Newhaven in 1800. A brave attempt top rescue ended in disaster when all 17 crew memnets of the Rye lifeboat Mary Stanford were drowned going to the aid of the steamer Alice. On the lighter side, the wreck of the Indiana in 1901 enabled beachcombers all along the Worthing coast to harvest tens of thousands of oranges and lemons for marmalade as they washed ashore from her cargo. The author brings these and many more shipwrecks vividly to life, recalling the courage and heroism of seaman and passengers, and the slefless bravery of those who went to their rescue.
