History of 43 Burleigh Street

1906

1906 06 06
Albert Whitehead, fruiterer of Burleigh Street told the court that his shop had been broken into and 90 oranges taken. Four schoolboys were charged with the theft – they had taken them to the gala ground on Midsummer Common and sold them. Two of the lads had very bad characters and were sentenced to receive 12 strokes with the birch. 06 06 06
