Britain's Lost Tragedies Uncovered by Richard M Jones
Many disasters become household names due to the enormity of the event, but many others are less well remembered. A lower death toll and scant media coverage has led to many tragic incidents being forgotten as time marches on, until now. This new study, collated by Richard M. Jones, is a collection of historically significant but tragic events and their aftermaths. Richard has compiled disasters occurring variously in the air, at sea, and on or under land, from a London family massacre in the 1800s, to shipwrecks, air crashes, road and rail accidents, gales and fires. Two locations saw major crashes years apart at the same spot; the notorious New Cross fire sparked accusations of a race-related cover-up; and the horrific Denmark Place fire was barely registered by a press fixated with the Yorkshire Ripper. This new study shines a light on these disasters once again and will ensure they are not forgotten.
RICHARD M. JONES has written and published ten books on historic disasters. As part of this work on disasters, he has collaborated widely with the press and has given television interviews for BBC News and private documentary filming. His fundraising and publicity work has resulted in the installations of six memorial plaques.
