In 1948 Margaret Allen was to go down in history as Rawtenstall's first murderer and has since become known as the UK's first transgender killer.

However, in this episode we will look at the actual police files and possibly show that there might be grounds to assign this case as having reasonable doubt.

The National Archives holds the police records which were consulted extensively for the background material for this podcast.

The National Newspaper Archives have several news reports about the investigation and appeal process.

All research, script writing, recording and editing, plus the management of social media sites are carried out by Neil, your podcast host.
