150 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (12 - 18 JUNE 1873)
This week's many stories include the festivities that were held to celebrate the wedding of a boss's son, a knife attack on a woman in Greenbank, the opening of St Helens public baths for the summer season, the case of the Tontine Street ironmonger accused of fighting with a frying pan thief and an attack on the noble selves of Wigan after numerous artworks from St Helens are purloined wholesale for a Royal exhibition.
