During the nineteenth century, Wearside had its fair share of murders and without exception the Mackem public devoured scary stories and every horror story with relish.
These are extraordinary true crime stories about ordinary people in the lanes and alleys of Sunderland: People who snapped; people who were so addled by drink or hatred that the consequences of their actions were only felt when the noose was placed around their necks.
We revisit those dark days in Murderous Wearside and take a closer look at the true crime cases that made the headlines in times gone by in historic Sunderland.
Inside of every one of us is a murderer. One day, when the world gets too much to bear, or the one we love just won’t take the hint and stop nagging – that’s when we snap; sometimes with disastrous consequences. Agree or Disagree?
Welcome to the true crime archives of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
“Each episode tells stories of Murders on Wearside in the late 1800s, followed by the verdict of the Jury, but with a unique twist. In one story of each episode, YOU, yes YOU the listener, are the Jury.”
