Today @WestYorkshireHistoryCentre we are busy installing The John Goodchild exhibition, which will showcase some of the treasures & curiosities from this important local collection. Opening Saturday 18th May 10:00-16:00. #DiscoverJG #OurYearWakefield

'Burke him, Burke him, give him no rope'. This flyer details the hanging of William Burke #OTD 1829. Along with William Hare he murdered 16 people in #Edinburgh and sold their bodies for dissection #burkeandhare See the original in our exhibition rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/after…
It was not a legal requirement to report deaths in the 1660s so searchers were employed to locate the dead. These were usually older women, viewed by many as illiterate and working 'through a mist of Ale' Find out more: rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/after…
This illustration shows the medicinal uses of skull moss. Human skulls were a key ingredient in a form of treatment known as medical cannibalism. Right up to the early 1800s, powdered skull could be found in medical texts Find out more in our exhibition rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/after…
