This is a day-by-day catalogue of 366 macabre moments from Shropshire county's past. Featured here are such diverse tales as mining disasters, suicides, miscarriages of justice, axe murders, executions, and tragic accidents, including the Meadow Pit Mining Tragedy of 1810, when four men suffocated from sulfur fumes after the pit caught fire, and the mysterious disappearance of a Lancaster bomber—and its crew—over Shropshire more than 60 years ago. Generously illustrated, this chronicle is an entertaining and readable record of Shropshire's grim past. Read on. . .  if you dare!
