The Shropshire Train Attack, 1887
130 years ago (1887) a brutal attack happened on a train in Shropshire - raising issues that are still being debated today.
A young woman was attacked in a carriage by a muscle-bound man who was seemingly back-from-the-dead. She tried to escape by climbing out of the moving train... until a sword wielding hero came to her aid.
Richard Tisdale tells the story of the 'brutal outrage' that made national headlines.
