Infamous Cheshire

Infamous Cheshire explores the darker side of this idyllic county, revealed here as not only the quiet, picturesque and affluent place that is often portrayed as a tranquil backwater. In his new book Bob Burrows digs deep into forgotten tales of villainy and crime, deceit and death, as well as throwing new light on more recent and well-remembered events - such as the Great Train Robbery's connections with the county, Britain's biggest financial fraud, the IRA attack in Warrington, the plane that crashed in the centre of Stockport, and even the story behind one of Cheshire's roads - designated the most dangerous in Britain. Bob Burrows' first book about Cheshire's history was described as 'a work of real quality...well researched, worth reading and worth keeping'; his second book is just as enthralling, and will fascinate anyone who knows and loves the picturesque county of Cheshire.
