About this event

Meet at the Castle Keep and finish at the Lit & Phil.Newcastle is rich in history but has a brutal and murderous past. Some people died an unexpected and violent death resulting in the murderers being hanged in Gallows Hole or outside the West Gate. Others escaped their fate and the murderers evaded the clutches of the law. This tour takes a look at some local murders in times past and some of the murders which we read about in novels.
