About this audio guide
This guide to the Greater Manchester Police Museum in Manchester follows Victorian detective Jerome Caminada and Bob Horridge, an Angel Meadow blacksmith who robbed by night. You'll hear about two men from strikingly similar beginnings, a vow made after an arrest, and a trail that ran as far as Liverpool. Along the way it opens the station's original cells and the street gangs once held in them.
