In the first part of the 18th Century, the south coast of England had many Smuggling gangs; perhaps the most notorious was the Hawkhurst Gang. Today we read a chapter from Joseph Dragovich's book 'Hawkhurst Murder, corruption and Britains most notorious Smuggling Gang'

Many thanks to Joseph for permission to read from his book and it is available in bookshops.
