The Liverpool Nobody Knows Tours annual Murder and Macabre walk usually takes place in October but such is the interest shown there will be dates in both October and November.
The Murder and Macabre walk is more than just a ‘ghost tour.’ Starting in the Canning area of Liverpool we make our way down into the city centre.
We visit the sites of long forgotten murders and other ghastly events, recorded supernatural events and hauntings, strange coincidences and inexplicable and often disturbing occurrences as well as tales of satanism, the occult and spiritualism.
It is not for the faint hearted!
To coincide with the walks, the tour page will be posting some very dark tales from Merseysides past.
If you have been on the Dock Road walk or the early Bootle walk you will be very familiar with Raleigh Street in Bootle. The street and the surrounding area was once notorious for crime and violence.
In 1874, Irish born Mary Williams (aged 30) lived at 60 Raleigh Street with her docker husband (aged 27) and seven children. It was an unhappy marriage and Mary Williams was often in trouble for fighting and criminal activity.
Just out of prison for non payment of fines, Mary Willing came unstuck. On the 20th April 1874, she picked a fight with two sisters, with the help of a husband, they beat her badly.
Mary Williams was out for revenge, she later saw a brother of the sisters, a young man named Nicholas Manning. She threw a cup at him, he simply walked away, she waited for him to return to the area and she shot him in the shoulder with a pistol she’d hidden under her apron.
Nicholas Manning later died of blood poisoning at the nearby Bootle Hospital.
Mary Williams was charged with murder and she stood trial at St Georges Hall on the 13th August 1874. Her defence was that she never meant to kill Nicholas Manning - just to frighten him.
She was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.
A huge petition was organised - pleading for mercy. The Mayor of Bootle also intervened, asking that Mary Williams be spared the death penalty. It was to no avail.
Mary Williams children had been placed in the workhouse - they were brought into Kirkdale prison to say goodbye to their mother. Mary Williams had been allowed to keep her young baby with her in prison.
On the 31st August 1874, she was hanged at Kirkdale gaol alongside Henry Flanagan (aged 21) who had murdered his aunt.
Just before she was executed, Mary Williams turned to the wardens and others and said ‘Goodbye and God bless you all.’
Of the forty one women hanged for murder in this country between 1868 and 1955, only Mary Williams and Ruth Ellis shot their victim.

Since the last walk, the former Salvation Army Building on Audley Street is currently being demolished - only the a section of the outer walls are still standing.
The former Dart pub on the corner of Gildart Street and Kempston Street has been demolished - no trace of it now exists (an old photograph on the right) Given the history of the area, that pub could have told some tales.

It’s great to see that The Throstles Nest pub on Scotland Road is reopening later this month.
If you were on The Liverpool Nobody Knows Tour first The Irish in Liverpool walk back in 2020 you’ll remember the owner of the pub chatting to us and telling us some stories about the area.
It’s nice to see a pub on Scotland Road again - very best wishes from the tour!

If you have been on the Bootle walk you’ll know that one of the places of interest is the site of the former synagogue on Stanley Road in Bootle.
A Jewish community, often working class, lived, worked and thrived in both Kirkdale and Bootle.
A chance find of a war medal by The Liverpool Nobody Knows Tour tells the story of one such family.
The First World War Victory Medal is inscribed

Solomon Goldring was born in 1897 in Liverpool.
The 1911 census records show Solomon Goldring (then aged 14) living at 66 Stanley Road in Kirkdale. He was an apprentice cabinet maker. He lived with his father (Harris) and his mother (Leah) and his brother and six sisters.
His father and mother had both been born in Poland (then part of Russia) They became British citizens on the 5th June 1899.

He gave his next of kin as his father (still living at 66 Stanley Road, Kirkdale) He transferred to the newly formed Royal Air Force on the 1st April 1918. As an Aero Rigger, he served in France from the 26th July 1918 to the 15th April 1919 with the 97 and 216 squadrons. He was discharged into the RAF Reserve on the 13th May 1919.
His name is listed in the First World War Jewry Book of Honour - many of those listed were killed or wounded in action.
Solomon Goldring returned home to Liverpool and took up this old trade of cabinet making.
This gallant gentleman passed away on the 4th May 1960 and he now rests in the Rice Lane Jewish cemetery in Liverpool.
