About the Book

Workmen find two skeletons in an old Victorian shaft. The bodies date from the 1840s, when Irish navvies dug the first tunnel. Young CID Sergeant Susan Priestley follows a trail that takes her to Dublin, where a sensitive diary has been locked away for over a hundred years. Slowly, Susan unravels the murder plots and discovers a Victorian world of establishment intrigue and hypocrisy. "Dave Cherry lives and breathes Barnsley and its history, culture and passion like a seam of coal through rock." - Andy Kershaw, BBC Radio Sheffield. "Dave is a multi- talented songwriter, playwright, archive film historian, and now an author! Everything he does has the golden Midas touch." - Barnsley Councillor Phillip Birkinshaw. "Dave Cherry's wonderful skills and humour have enlivened the lives of Barnsley Chronicle readers for years." - John Threlkeld, retired Barnsley Chronicle deputy editor. "This is a book I can't wait to read! Barnsley's latest novelist is writing about the Huskar mining disaster." - Mel Dyke, education consultant, lecturer and writer.
About the Author: Dave Cherry was born in Barnsley and is proud of his roots. A former miner and electrician, he's developed into a true Renaissance man of Barnsley culture. He became a household name in Barnsley with his comedy song 'The Stairfoot Rarndabart', which pokes fun at the local bottleneck. This song alone made £20,000 for the Barnsley Hospice. Dave is rarely out of the pages of the Barnsley Chronicle, 'I'm in more than the mayor," jokes Dave. He's lost count of the times he's appeared on local radio and TV too. Dave's musical comedy, 'The Old Club Trip', was performed at the Lamproom Theatre in Barnsley for three years in succession. This show raised another £24,500 for the hospice. In total to date, he has raised over £69,000 for the hospice, as well as money for other charitable organisations. Another of Dave's passion is the transference of old films to a digital format. Dave learned how to copy old cine films, and as an avid historian, he is fascinated by films showing local places in bygone days. Dave now has over four hours of archive cine films in his private collection and has donated a lot of films to the new Experience Barnsley Museum. He has a tremendous following on social media with his history films. 'The Woodhead Diaries' is his first novel, and it reflects his deeply-held values of socialism and equality.
