Hessle Railway accident
« on: Saturday 27 January 18 17:25 GMT (UK) »
I have a James Brown b 1779 who was the fatality in a railway accident on the 21.2.1847 in Hessle. The newspaper reports on the accident reported that that he was a "Crier of Hessle". I take this to mean Town Crier, but find no trace of such. Has anyone any ideas please??
The railway archives stated that it was caused by a derailment and the files have yet to be updated

CRIER, either a town crier or one of many street salesmen and women who would shout out what they had to sell in their own distinctive ways.

Some people never learn, there are frightening resemblences to the high speed incident when an IC225 was derailed at Hatfield due to track failure in 1998!
