Description:This newscutting reports the death of a woman in the cells at Perry Barr police station. She was found lying across the railway line and taken to the police station. She asked to be left alone and was later found dying. When this report was written she had not been identified. She was later named as Annie or Hannah Blakely and it seemed she was drunk when found and had a very weak heart, the combination of which led to a verdict of death by natural causes.
