Interesting piece, I note the criminal though was a weaver from Blackburn who moved to Burnley he happen thought the rich banker was buried not only with his fortune but his horse as well.

I think he is named in the video clip. If you want to know more, try the Burnley newspapers for 1889. The Burnley Express archive is available either via the British Newspaper Archive website, or Find My Past.
