    My dad was her cousin . My grandmother Jessie May and Maud were sisters . Visiting relatives were never on the cards with us really , both Mum and Dad worked which kept us fed and clothed etc . We didn`t have a car and money was probably tight , we didn`t go on holiday , maybe just the odd day .. Although we knew the story that was just it . I started doing a bit of genealogy in the late 90s but was to late to meet Agnes and what could I say ? . It`s good to know she was looked after but a shame our family ties were not closer .

    Thats got to be one of the most horrific,sad stories you have covered Chris&Vickie.I believe Evil exists and that so and so was far from being insane,he was out and out EVIL! So good to hear the poor girl went on to live a long happy and productive life after such a unthinkable start! Great presentation and research as usual,looking forward to the next one!👍

    I lived in the Woodnook area on Belfield Road when I was a kid and attended Woodnook Saint Mary's school from 4 years old to 11 years old. The mill on Victoria Street was called Highams I worked there for a couple of years, they.made sheets and pillow cases Chris. Loved the video.

    I 'm from Preston, and am now 72, I remember vividly my mother telling me this awful story, when i was a little Girl of 7 or 8, (although I didn't realise it took place in Accrington) I remember being absolutely horrified by it, obviously I must have been because I remember it well, i felt SO sorry for the little girl, and was glad when you told us that she had in fact had a good life despite her awful injuries.

    Years back I was reading an autobiography and it opened with this sickening crime. I can't remember what her family's connection was to it but I'll try and find my copy and let you know, maybe they just lived round the corner or something. I couldn't believe what I was reading and looked it up to double check. It's just..............too much. Until then I'd thought that Titus Andronicus was far-fetched, but apparently not.

      I've always said I'm not perfect and not a documentary maker by design and yet people who watch our videos for FREE for most parts only pick up on the negative aspects of the video and hardly give constructive criticism. We are working on making them better, but it's also hard standing in front of a camera with people driving past, honking horns and shouting whilst your filming and then trying to remember the story it's in entirety.

    Domestic violence against the wife and children sadly was not out of the norm in many sections of the UK until the 1970s. Heavy drinking, poverty, misogny, lack of financial independence for women, all contributing factors, not excuses.

    It’s possible that the treatment of the defendant by the police might have been a form of the defence in terms of police procedures and perhaps trying to omit certain types of evidence as a result, which may have resulted in either reducing charges or altogether removing the charges or reducing the sentence.

    I watch a lot of true crimes, which might male me a bit weird, but really it is just my way of trying to understand or come to terms with the evil some people do to others. This is quite the most horrific I have ever come across. This guy took warped depravity to a different level.
    Oddly I had been watching a bad American paranormal film (based on actual events - yeah right) where the evil entity was a man who had drowned his son to punish his wife/mother of the boy. When the mother discovered them, she shot him. I was thinking "Surely no man would do that?. They must be exaggerating" then this comes on, which is 100 times Worse. And this is Definitely true It has made me feel really uncomfortable.. But it shows the strength of the True human spirit, that Agnes came back from it and lived a happy , fulfilled life. The best vengeance there could possibly be. His victims survived and were stronger and Loved, while he hopefully rotted somewhere. I hope the other crims made his life hell.

      Trust us, you aren't weird. We also watch an absolute mammoth amount of true crime shows. Either TV series, documentaries or movies, we watch loads. I think it's the curiosity in each of us that wants to understand what pushes another human into being so cruel to others. On a personal note, I enjoy the much older true crimes, those from the early 1900s to around the 1960s. Vickie on the other hand will watch more modern true crime videos.

      Thank you Sophie. We try to cover some of the more well known stories, but we also love digging up those that have occurred and that no-one has ever mentioned before.

      I'm not a professional film maker, just someone who goes out doing something I enjoy. So thanks for your comment anyway 👋

      Sometimes you have to repeat a section to carry the story on during filming. We are not professionals, do this as a hobby and re tell forgotten stories of the past to keep them alive so to speak.
