    Members of Ormskirk's National Trust support group relived memories of one of the town's most notorious crimes in an arresting afternoon at The Fiveways Toby Carvery.

    QLocal reporter Roger Blaxall spoke on his career as a police PR officer in GMP and the Lancashire Constabulary, touching on the infamous murder of the Ormesher sisters in May 1956.

    Still unsolved, it saw the townsfolk's men all fingerprinted - and there were vivid memories of some who recalled their own questioning at the time by detectives as teenagers.

    Blaxall took part of his extensive collection of police memorabilia and invited his appreciative audience for their verdict on the fates of Lydiate's gambling PC, the drug dealing Sikh officer from Preston and the hapless detective caught in a stripogram 'sting' at force HQ on his 40th birthday.

    Why did you find it necessary Roger to refer to the religion of the 'drug dealing Sikh officer'? What religion / faith were the gambling PC from Lydiate, or the detective in the stripogram sting? Reminds me of when you covered the closure of the Freshfield bookshop in December 2020, when you referred to the two potential new occupants as 'the Asian men'...
