150 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (24th - 30th OCTOBER 1872)
This week's stories include the debate over an illuminated church clock, the curious Water Street break-in by an undressed man, the notorious Bridget Kildare appears in court, the scandalous language used in Watery Lane that led to a head-butt, the boy setting off fireworks in Liverpool Road that got himself on fire and why publicans moaning about their lost pre-breakfast drinking trade was the acme of nonsense.
