Mark Tyndall from Rochdale

I am sad to report news of the death of Mark Tydall.
 I heard via Jim Stridgen that he died a couple of weeks ago of Cancer. he was 62 .
 His funeral was last week.
 I first met Mark in the mid-80's at Rochdale Turkish Baths.
 A good lad.No harm in him at all. Very sad news

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑

 



Last night I finished reading this cracking book . I can highly recommend. R.J. Ellory's " The Bell Tower" (2024 )
 A very well written and easy to read style ( think Stephen King without any of his Acid Flashbacks! ) 
It's set on Death Row in Florida Maybe not the best book in the world , but still the best American Crime Novel i have read since James Ellroy.'s " The Black Dahila
 Talking of James Ellroy, i include a photo i took of him ten years ago at a Talk in Manchester. More photos here of that night are 

Manchester Yesterday
