It's the cold winter of 1813 and in Manchester the River Irwell has frozen over. A school teacher named Lavinia Robinson has gone missing. Will she be found?
How very sad Dean, the Irwell holds many secrets and stories long forgotten, I'm sure. Thanks for seeking them out and sharing them with us. Take care.
So sad yet wonderful that. She is still remembered .one thing puzzles me, how was the note left on her sisters table if she never went back? If she did go back then leave doesn't that make him innocent also? Or was she supposed to have left it before they set off for the walk?
What a beautifully written story Dean. There must be dozens and dozens of unknown stories from the past in towns and cities.

Is it possible that she went back, left the note and then went out and threw herself in the river?

It’s a good question. Could suggests she went back to the house and went out again?
Super interesting story. As always, love that find and share amazing history we would never see otherwise.
Thanks Chris.
