In July 1955 Ruth Ellis was the last women to hang in England after shooting her lover David Blakeley outside a Hampstead pub. The evidence against Ellis was overwhelmning, but as the glamorous mother of young children she inspired considerable sympathy, and the press and public campaigned for her reprieve. This Crime Archive title explores the tragic consequences of her abusive relationship through material held at The National Archives, including police files, newspaper cuttings, psychiatrist's reports and Ellis's letters.
