Bill Cunningham, Historian and tour guide walks and talks us through the historic streets of the Georgian market town of Stamford. We hear about various people who have been associated with the town over the last 250 years.

Daniel Lambert - Heaviest Man in England

Arnold Leese - Camel veterinary surgeon and Fascist

Edward Edwards - In pursuit of the Bounty Mutineers

Thomas Bacon - The Walworth tragedy

John George Haigh - Acid Bath Murderer
