Available for over a year

19-year-old Herbert Leonard Mills was sentenced to death by hanging in 1951. He killed Mabel Tattershaw, a housewife from Daybrook and, when her body was not immediately discovered, called The News of the World to report having 'found' her body. In this episode of Notorious Nottinghamshire, Greig Watson explores the case of the last man from Nottingham to be hanged. Image: Steve Fielding
