My Family and Other Smugglers – Roger Guttridge
My Family and Other Smugglers – Roger Guttridge
Roger's talk is inspired by family legends and documents about his maternal ancestors, who led one of North Dorset's notorious smuggling bands in the l8th and 19th centuries. He sets their adventures in the context of a major, but illegal, industry that flourished for over 100 years.
