Dark Up North episodes
- Mary Ann Cotton: The Angel of AucklandIn 1872, a seven-year-old boy died in West Auckland, County Durham, and a parish official refused to let it go. What followed exposed one of the most notorious poisoners in Victorian Britain. In our first episode, we trace Mary Ann Cotton’s trail through Cornwall, Sunderland and the Durham coalfield, the insurance policies, the arsenic, the trial, and the hanging at Durham Gaol. Then we ask what she was really convicted of, and how many of the deaths we can actually prove.

About Dark Up North
From the publisher's feed
Dark Up North digs into the true crime, unsolved mysteries, and local legends of the North of England — the cases people still talk about in the pub and the ones that never made the papers.…
Meticulously researched, atmospheric, and told with a proper Teesside voice — no glossing over the dark stuff, no pretending we wouldn't run screaming from half these situations. Cold cases, historic pardons, hauntings, and folklore that's older than anyone can explain. If you like your true crime thorough and your ghost stories with a laugh in between, you're home.
