There's an old black & white film, must have been made in the 1930's, that's shown on a regularly on the Talking Pictures tv channel about Charlie Peace & his trial after capture.   Keep catching glimpses of it but not seen it all the way through.  Not sure if any bits of Sheffield feature? 


There’s an archived thread on this forum which someone mentions part of an old Charles Peace film was shot in their back yard on Orchard Lane (where Orchard Square now is).

4'8" he'd need a ladder!

Following from Hull Daily Mail about Peace:

 

He was partially disabled following a childhood accident, bow legged, only 5ft 4ins tall and lacking fingers on his left hand, he also spoke as if his tongue was too big for his mouth.
