In 1835 South Durham MP Joseph Pease succeeded in getting a Bill passed in Parliament ending bull baiting, dog fighting and cock fighting. But the annual Bull run in Stamford was to continue. Â Here I consider this, how this was resisted and then consider the consequences of a recent occurrence of a young bull running through the middle of Birmingham.
After much work I have now published the full version of my book "Marsh Fen and Town South Lincolnshire and Beyond". It is a hard back book just under A4 size consisting of 450 pages, over 250,000 words and over 200 pictures and illustrations.
