During that time its presence has spawned numerous tales of a mysterious nature. Included in the catalogue of strange happenings, is an unexplained fire that caused damage to two of the rooms. At another time an office light was seen to be switching on and then off, when the building was known to be locked for the night.There have been reports of ghostly sightings that include men, women and even dogs. The Tower's history is linked with that of two other historic buildings, which are Bradshaw Hall and Timberbottom Farm. When the two buildings were demolished, many of their antiquities were donated to the Turton Tower's Museum. One of which is a baby's cradle, that is said to 'rock' independently at the midnight hour. There are also the remnants of two human skulls that have a long history of poltergeist activity. The author of the book titled, Mysterious Tales From Turton Tower, has painstakingly collected the various tales and combined them into a singular narrative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49593648021777,"sku":"GOR013500102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51011273949457,"sku":"NIN9780993282447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/099328244X.jpg?v=1751331544"},{"product_id":"red-tabs-book-peter-stuart-farley-9780993282416","title":"The Red Tabs","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring W2, a quarter of a million South Africans joined the Allied cause, to fight against the armies of Mussolini and Hitler. Pieces of red coloured material known as the 'Red Tabs' and worn on the epaulettes of their uniforms, denoted that each one was a volunteer. They pushed the Italian forces out of East Africa and then faced Hitler's Afrika Korps in the Western Desert. During the little known battle at a stretch of desert called Acroma Keep, South African troops held their ground against overwhelming odds. Amidst the action a truce was held between the Germans and the South Africans; just long enough to gather the wounded and the dead. Thereafter, the fighting recommenced and Acroma Keep became the last defensive position to fall, before Rommel's forces attacked Tobruk and ultimately took 33,000 prisoners. This book describes many of the battles using personal anecdotes from veteran South African soldiers and is illustrated with dozens of previously unpublished photographs together with several informative maps. Presented in a systematic and simplistic format the book would make a vauable asset for the student of the Desert War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50434022899985,"sku":"GOR013949857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51011289579793,"sku":"NIN9780993282416","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0993282415.jpg?v=1751299186"},{"product_id":"pensioner-visits-peru-book-peter-stuart-farley-9780993282423","title":"A Pensioner Visits Peru","description":"\u003cp\u003eDid you know there are pyramids in Peru - or that mummified corpses can talk? This is the story of one pensioner's visit to Peru, where he stood on the famous Nazca Lines. He later took to the air in a light aircraft and flew over the mysterious lines and geoglyphs, that stretch for miles in the desert. At Machu Picchu he walked amongst the ruins of a sacred Inca city that is perched high on a mountain top. He travelled to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire and found himself taking part in the traditional festival of Corpus Christi. At Barranco he walked across the Puente de los Suspiros - the Bridge of Sighs - where it is said a wish is granted to whoever crosses for the first time. The result was quite unexpected  Many people dream of the distant and exotic places they would visit when they retire but few ever manage to do so. Read how one pensioner ignored the many arguments against such an adventure and made his dream come true. The book presents a vivid account of his travels and is sprinkled with humour. It contains 154 pages and is illustrated with 48 original colour photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52741231935761,"sku":"NIN9780993282423","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780993282423.jpg?v=1763486772"},{"product_id":"laugh-n-scratch-book-peter-stuart-farley-9780993282430","title":"Laugh 'n' Scratch","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52858398900497,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52858399457553,"sku":"NIN9780993282430","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780993282430.jpg?v=1765118242"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-stuart-farley.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
