Join Brian Joyce to examine four cases of homicide in the Leigh area between 1927 and 1951

In his talk, Brian Joyce will examine four cases of homicide in the Leigh area between 1927 and 1951. In one of these cases, listeners may wish to consider whether the verdict would be the same in 2026.

Interestingly, only one of these killers was hanged.

Visitors may rest assured that Brian will avoid gruesome detail in this talk.

Tickets include a chippy tea to be enjoyed after the talk.
