He wasn't a gangster for the simple reason he wasn't in a gang. He was a lone operator.

 

Can someone please clear up where he committed the Banner Cross Murders? I have heard that it was the passageway next to Best Kebab in the old stone built terrace at Banner Cross and not in fact the alleyway beside the pub that leads to Psalter Lane.

My Grandfather on my Dads side knew Charlie Peace very well i have in my possession a small violin that belonged to him but no way of proving that it ever belonged to him only by word of mouth.
