Brighton Trunk Murders

by Eileen O'reilly 7 August 2017

I am writing a book inspired by the first Brighton Trunk murder discovered in June 1934. Over the course of my online research, I remember reading that the unidentified woman was eventually buried. Does anyone know where her grave is and when she was buried. My book is a fictional story that takes place in the 12 months prior to the discovery of the body – it features, but only as a case of mistaken identity. Also any information on the Palace Pier theatre and the Astoria Cinema would be appreciated.
