In the 1960's approximately 3 miles from where I live the police evicted a Traveller site, this was known as the battle of Brownhills. I am still investigating this but found that 3 sisters had been killed during this eviction, the bailiffs had arrived and were moving caravans, the children were still inside ans as the caravan moved the stove fell over and sadly the children were burnt to death.
I can't imagine the grief and no one was prosecuted, so it was never closed. Dreadful.
