Description

When Kent couple Lee and Anne-Marie Birch converted a hair salon in Westgate-on-Sea into a micro pub, they were hopeful that the venture would transform their fortunes. But like so many new businesses, it struggled to establish itself and provide the couple with sufficient income to make a living. The failure of the Birches’ pub business can’t have helped what was a rocky marriage. But the lingering thought remains that, had the enterprise succeeded, perhaps things would have been different. The glass might just have appeared half full instead of half empty. This quickly turned to tragedy…

This month’s Under The Spotlight takes a look inside the Chicago home of serial-killer John Wayne Gacy. It was certainly not a place for a young man to find himself in the 1970s. Gacy may have appeared like an average suburbanite, but the floor of his house held many dark secrets…

If you think gang culture is a new phenomenon in Britain, think again. Gangs were prevalent right across the nation in the inter-war years and nowhere more so than in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield, where ruthless mobs of men shattered the peace. In Brothers Hanged For Sheffield Gang Killing, we tell how the violence descended into murder in a tale that illustrates just why the city was dubbed “Britain’s Little Chicago.”
