The murder of Nellie Clarke, January 1925 - 21st Jan 2012 10:19am
Hi all, i'm new to the site but have spent the last week reading through the threads and looking at some great photos
Apologies if this is already mentioned somewhere, but I can't find it after a good search of the site.
As a child, my Nan told me the story of Nellie Clarke, who was found murdered a back alley behind Spenser Avenue, Rock Ferry. Nan had lived in Spenser Ave in the 1950's, so I imagine the story had been passed along through the generations.
I have found this little bit from the Wirral Globe, but it doesn't really tell you a lot:

Does anyone know anymore about the story?
I remember reading a book about the murder a few years ago, it covered the story in a lot more detail, and mentioned a few suspects, one being Father Christmas from the party, or a policeman? But, I can't remember what the book was called, or where I got it from.
This story may explain my irrational fear of Father Christmas.
