A ‘humped profile’ dry valley running west–east, and followed by the bridleway between Brocton and Beggar's Hill is interpreted as a glacial overflow channel, operative during the ice age. An expanse of glacial till underlies Haywood Warren with smaller patches mapped elsewhere. Sand and gravel have been quarried in different parts of the Chase over the years, as at Wolseley today.

The first day of proceedings saw legal arguments between prosecution and defence as to whether Morris should be tried for each of the charges to which he had pled guilty and not guilty separately or together. Although the defence argued against the prosecution's contention that each of the charges pointed to the defendant's sexual and behavioural proclivities, and were thus unduly prejudicial, the judge ruled Morris could be tried on all three indictments simultaneously. The process of jury selection then began. [77] Testimony [ edit ] Borrell, Clive; Cashinella, Brian (1975). Crime in Britain Today. Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd. pp.50–52. ISBN 978-0-710-08232-9. Carol Morris then testified on behalf of the prosecution. She first described the route her husband had typically taken to and from work, which—contrary to official statements her husband had given police—took him in close proximity to Camden Street and Caldmore Green. She then retracted the statements she had initially told investigators about the two having been shopping on the day of Darby's murder and Aulton's attempted abduction, [5] stating that on each of the dates the two had been questioned by policemen as to her husband's movements, she had agreed to corroborate her husband's statements as she "didn't think he [could be] the person responsible." Carol then testified her husband had not returned home until the early evening of 19 August 1967 and that his demeanour had been normal on this date [80] and that on the date of Aulton's attempted abduction, her husband had not returned to their flat until the ending credits of the soap opera Coronation Street were broadcast. [n 10] She also stated her willingness to provide a false alibi for her husband on each occasion lay in her conviction her husband could not have committed the abduction and murder of a child.

Short Street, in Longton, is a narrow, cobbled street just off Uttoxeter Road, with three workers’ cottages sitting on it. At 9p.m. on 2 December 1964, a nine-year-old named Julia Taylor was lured into a blue Vauxhall Velox in Bloxwich by a man claiming to be a friend of her mother and referring to himself as "Uncle Len". The child was informed her mother had asked this individual to transport her to her aunt's home to "fetch Christmas presents". [15] She was driven to a pile of slag heaps near the mining village of Bentley where she was sexually assaulted, manually strangled and thrown half-naked from the car into a ditch, having endured grievous internal injuries. Taylor was found alive by a passing cyclist approximately fifty minutes later. This individual would later state he had overheard "weak, sobbing" noises as he cycled in the pouring rain and darkness and had stopped his bicycle to investigate the sounds. The cyclist immediately flagged down a passing van, which drove the sobbing and bleeding child to a hospital. [16] Wilson, Colin; Seaman, Donald (1988). Encyclopedia of Modern Murder: 1962–1982.
