Book
The scuttlers were the hooligans of their day, holding the streets of Manchester and Salford in a grip of fear. This text traces the history of the scuttlers from the Rochdale Road War of 1870-1, through the antics of such infamous fighters as the Bellis brothers of Salford, until the demise of the gangs at the turn of the century.
