The Blue Anchor
The Blue Anchor, scene of the murder of Mr Jones, the landlord, was poisoned by Pierre Vaquier who was having an affair with Mr Jones' wife. Vaquier purchased the poison in London and was recognised by the man who had sold him the poison, when a photograph of Vaquier appeared in a national newspaper. My grandfather was drinking in the pub when Mr Jones died.

RE: RE: The Blue Anchor
I am a distant relation of Alf Jones and have been handed down some family reminiscences of the murder case. I would be interested to hear from any other surviving family members or descendants who have information on the matter
