IOO YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (17 - 23 JULY 1923)
This week's many stories include the huge crowd that watched a fight take place in Water Street, the two young brothers that drowned in the canal at Blackbrook, the two women fighting through an accusation of being a police informer, the men causing a nuisance in Shaw Street while they waited for newspapers to arrive and the desperate need for a mortuary in Eccleston as the landlord of the Griffin tires of taking in bodies.
