ceegee Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 From the Manchester Guardian dated Monday 23rd November 1925. The tragedy occurred on the A57 about half a mile below the now defunct Bell- Hagg Pub on the Manchester Road A descendent of the boys mother Matilda "Tilly" Melling has written about the family and the traumatic effect the tragedy had on them in his book "Frayed Lifelines: A Siege Survivor's Story" by Frank Leighton." It is recalled on pages 38-39 and can be found on Google Books. As an aside,at the inquest which was held on 24th November 1925, the other party to the crash (Mr J Chadwick of Spring Hill Road, Crookes) was represented by a certain Irwin Mitchell and the Melling family by Harold Jackson (later Sir Harold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
