Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smuggling, although always illegal, was a major trading activity in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. This `delicious deception¿ was an activity inhabitants of the Isle of Wight engaged in with enthusiasm. The Island¿s prominent smuggling role can be largely attributed to its offshore location with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches. Much of the contraband shipped by Island smugglers was destined for mainland customers. The Island became a natural forward base for traffic to and from the continent. Separated from the mainland by The Solent, this diamond shaped landmass was a natural gift to the `free traders¿ and developed into a main dumping depot where contraband purchased in Northern France and the Channel Islands could be stockpiled reasonably safely. The nerve centre of smuggling operations was predominantly the local pub, where plots were hatched, arrangements for transportation agreed and runs commissioned. The smugglers¿ pub served as a meeting place, recruitment centre, secret storage facility, distribution depot and valued customer. This copiously illustrated guide features a significant number of authentic pubs patronised over two centuries ago by Isle of Wight smugglers. These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and secret hiding places are where, with a little imagination, one can sense the desperate days of smuggling¿s golden era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the darker side of this scenic destination with over twenty true-crime tales, accompanied by photos and illustrations. Its natural beauty attracts countless visitors—but notorious cases of murder, deceit, and pure malice have marked the long history of this apparently peaceful island. From crimes of passion to opportunistic killings and coldly premeditated acts of murder, the full spectrum of criminality is recounted here. For this journey into a bloody, neglected aspect of the past, Isle of Wight historian and crime writer M.J. Trow has selected over twenty notorious episodes that give a fascinating insight into criminal acts and the criminal mind. He throws light into the shadowy world of the smugglers, pirates, and robbers who plagued the island’s early history. He recalls the escape attempts of Charles I from Carisbrooke Castle, the mysterious loss of the Mary Rose and HMS Royal George, and the scandalous conduct of Lady Worsley. In vivid, sometimes shocking detail, he reconstructs notable criminal cases, including the brutal murders that have marked the island’s more recent past. In addition, he delves into the history of the island’s three prisons—Albany, Parkhurst, and Camp Hill—which have housed many of Britain’s most violent criminals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 150 years, from the beginning of the eighteenth century, East Sussex wasin the forefront of smuggling due to its pivotal position between the merchantsuppliers of Northern France and London customers eager for untaxed luxuriessuch as brandy, tea and tobacco.The men landing contraband on Sussex beaches had two initial aims. The firstto avoid detection, the second to move the merchandise swiftly inland to halfway hiding places at farms, churches and pubs. Secrecy during these operationswas facilitated by the threat of violence towards would be informers andjudicious bribing of legal authorities encouraging them to turn a blind eye.In many cases the local inn became the smugglers¿ centre of operations whereplots were hatched, arrangements agreed and runs commissioned. The smugglers¿pub served as a meeting place, recruitment centre, distribution depot andvalued customer. This was nowhere more so than in the incomparable smugglingtown of Rye, riddled with linking tunnels and secret storage places.Terry Townsend, who has written extensively on this subject, has identified asignificant number of authentic Smugglers¿ pubs distributed throughout EastSussex. These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstonefloors and inglenook fireplaces evoke a genuine sense of the desperate days offree traders. The events actually occurring during the smuggling heyday providestories every bit as wild as any to be imagined.
