Story of the month
Every month we offer a tantalising glimpse of just a few of the riveting tales that await the reader in Journals published each year since 2002.
Murder, Domestic Violence and Police assaulted on the steps of St Georges Hall
This month we feature the story of ‘The Codman family’ by Ronald Richard Codman published in our first Journal 2002.
Read about their Norwich origins, their famous bare-knuckled boxing travelling companion and the journey of how they left their Norfolk home to bring this 17th-century Italian character to Liverpool.
Located around St George’s Hall the Codman family dynasty brought to Liverpool the Punch and Judy puppet show that entertained the Liverpool public from 1860 for well over a century.
