Tuscany Florence Basilica di Santa Croce Nativity executed by the Masters of glass Murano Veneto Italy
beautiful white marble monument, executed by Flaxman, and which was erected in 1810 by a subscription amongst the pupils of the late Rev. Hugh Moises, A. M. It represents Religion, in the form of a female, with her eyes fixed on heaven, and leaning on a cippus, which is surmounted by an urn: on the side of the cippus is an admirably executed medallion of the venerable divine. A tablet beneath bears the following inscription, from the classical pen of the Right Hon. Sir William Scott, one of his most distinguished pupils:—
"Juxta Requiescit Reverendus Hugo Moises A. M. Collegii Divi Petri apud Cantabrigiensis olim socius Postea Per Longam Annorum seriem Ludi Literarii in hoc oppido Fundati Praefectus, Atque ibidem in ecclesia omnium sanctorum Verbi Divini Praelector. Vir erat ingenio eleganti et exculto, Literis Humanioribus apprime ornatus, et in iis impetiendis indefessus ac felix. In Regendis puerorum animis Leni usus imperio sed constanti Moribus facillimis nec inficetis, Sed ad vitae et officii sui sanctimoniam Rite compositis. Omnium, quorum studiis dirigendis invigilaverat, Commodis in omni Genere promovendis Amicissime semper, saepe utiliter, intentus. Religionis Patriae institutis stabilitae cultor observantissimus. Et in concionibus sacris Explicator Diligens, Doctus, Disertus. Hoc Monumento Memoriam Nominis Consecrari voluit Permultorum Discipulorum Amor et veneratio Favante et Pecunia collata juvante Novacastrensium municipio Viri de suis omnibus optime Meriti Grate Memori. Obiit Anno Salutis MDCCCVI, Ætatis suae LXXXV, Filiis Hugone et Gulielmo superstitibus."
The following translation was made by the late William Burdon, Esq. who had also been a pupil of this learned and virtuous gentleman:—
"Near this place are interred the remains of the Rev. Hugh Moises, A. M. formerly a Fellow of Peterhouse, in the university of Cambridge, and afterwards, for many years, master of the Free Grammar School in this town, and lecturer of All Saints'. He was a man of an elegant and cultivated mind, eminently adorned with polite literature, unwearied and successful in imparting it to others. In directing the minds of his pupils, he exercised a firm but lenient sway; of easy and polished address, not inconsistent with the sanctity of his life and office; constantly, most kindly, and not always unsuccessfully, intent on promoting the interests of those whose studies he superintended. A most diligent observer of the established religion, and in his sermons an assiduous, learned, and elegant expositor of the divine word. The love and veneration of many of his scholars, assisted by a subscription of the inhabitants of Newcastle, gratefully mindful of his merits, has sought to perpetuate, by the erection of this monument, the memory of a man who deserved well of all mankind. He died in the month of July, 1806, in the 85th year of his age, leaving two sons, Hugh and William."
The right hand head here is a 19th century replacement executed as a reflected copy of the original 15th century head on the left..
Traceries of the central window on the south side (as viewed from scaffolding during restoration of the chapel in 2015) glazed by the royal glazier John Prudde in 1447 with some of the most luxuriant stained glass available at the time. The angels hold pieces of medieval music manuscript (a design also used in the east window and that most likely also continued into the two westernmost windows of the chapel where sadly only fragments remain today). A few of the heads on the south side are later repairs, some Victorian but others as early as the 17th century.
The bulk of this glass was tragically lost when the chapel was attacked by Cromwellian troops in 1643 (it is possible the chapel was locked and all this was done from outside as the tombs and statuary survived undamaged). The six side windows were a complete loss below the traceries and have remained plain-glazed ever since, but the surviving figures were used to fill the large gaps left in the east window to give the patchwork display we see today.
The gorgeous Beauchamp Chapel at St Mary's, Warwick is perhaps the best preserved example of a medieval church interior in England. I have been in love with it ever since my first childhood visit, and it remains my favourite room in all England.
The chapel is rich in excellent monuments, of which the tomb of Richard Beauchamp, the chapel's founder, is the most impressive with magnificent gilt bronze sculptures, an extremely rare survival.
Equally spectacular is the delightful east window, which is filled with superb 15th century glass by John Prudde, the King's glazier. Much if it is not in situ, since Cromwell's troops wrought havoc with the glass here and the surviving figures were assembled in this window (only the outer pairs of figures in the upper row are in their original positions). The north and south windows retain original glass only in their traceries and the cusped heads of the main lights, and knowing the quality of the surviving elements makes this loss all the more grievous.
A further treasure of this chapel and a miraculous survivor of Cromwells fanatics is the statuary surrounding the east window. This unique display of almost perfectly preserved figure sculpture from the early 15th century is exquisite, and gives an answer to all those empty niches we see in so many medieval churches elsewhere in England. The medieval splendour is further echoed by the use of colour on the sculptures and vaulted ceiling, all redone in the mid 20th century but based on medieval precedents.
FR :
Le lieu-dit Tri Pilastri est un ancien bûcher / potence où étaient exécuté(e)s les condamné(e)s à mort, notamment durant la période dite de “caccia alle streghe” (chasse aux sorcières) aux 16ème et 17ème siècles. Condamnations prononcées à l’époque par le "ministre de la justice" (bourreau) véritablement au nom de ce qu’on appellerait aujourd’hui la superstition, l’ignorance, et l’intolérance religieuse.
La loi de l’époque ne connaissait pas la présomption d’innocence.
Le nombre exact d’exécutions (quelques dizaines ou plusieurs centaines) reste inconnu puisque toutes les archives de la soi-disant Sainte Inquisition du diocèse de Milan de 1314 à 1764 ont été délibérément détruites le 3 juin 1788.
ITA :
Tri Pilastri è un'ex pira/palacca dove venivano giustiziati i condannati a morte, in particolare durante il periodo noto come "caccia alle streghe" nel XVI e XVII secolo. Condanne pronunciate all'epoca dal "ministro della giustizia" (boia) proprio in nome di quella che oggi si chiamerebbe superstizione, ignoranza e intolleranza religiosa.
La legge dell'epoca non prevedeva la presunzione di innocenza.
Il numero esatto delle esecuzioni (qualche decina o qualche centinaio) rimane sconosciuto poiché tutti gli archivi della cosiddetta Santa Inquisizione della Diocesi di Milano dal 1314 al 1764 furono deliberatamente distrutti il 3 giugno 1788.
ENG :
The place called Tri Pilastri is an ancient pyre / gallow where those condemned to death were executed, especially during the period known as "caccia alle streghe" (witch hunt) in the 16th and 17th centuries. Condemnations pronounced at that time by the "minister of justice" (torturer) truly in the name of what would be called today superstition, ignorance, and religious intolerance.
The law of that time did not know the presumption of innocence.
The exact number of executions (a few dozens or several hundreds) remains unknown because all of the archives of the so-called Holy Inquisition of the Diocese of Milan from 1314 to 1764 were deliberately destroyed on June 3, 1788.
Coca Cola headquarters was the scene for Day 1 of the Executing Social Media Conference, Atlanta, Nov 14-16, 2007. We ate (and drank) very well!
These were executed by Ghiberti between 1425-1452, after he had previously spent another quarter century working on the North Door. They are now displayed in the Museum, with a copy outside on the Baptistry itself. As I recall, several panels on one or the other of these doors were dislodged during the 1967 Arno flood, and might have been lost had not the surrounding fence kept them from being washed away.
On Tuesday 15 October 2024, police executed five warrants at addresses in Rochdale and Manchester to tackle the cruel and unlawful sale of puppies,
following an extensive investigation by the RSPCA, supported by Greater Manchester Police, into the illegitimate and organised sale of puppies.
This investigation has uncovered an illicit underground trade that promotes animal cruelty and neglect, with sellers and criminal gangs making vast sums of money at the expense of innocent puppies and members of the public.
Some puppies were sick and died shortly after being sold to unsuspecting members of the public who believed they were buying much-loved family pets but may have been imported from overseas.
Today’s positive action comes as a result of several reports from members of the public who have been subject to extreme distress as a result of this illicit operation. Work remains ongoing and we are following several lines of enquiry to disrupt and prevent this type of criminality.
Sergeant Brendan Walsh, from our Rochdale district, said: “This is organised crime, and those involved have been making eye watering profits from this harmful and illicit trade.
“This has been a tremendous joint effort between Greater Manchester Police and the RSPCA's Special Operations Unit.
"The properties were searched, and police have rescued 14 puppies and seized an XL bully. Police also seized several mobile phones, important documents and bank statements, all consistent with an organised criminal operation involving the fraudulent and unlawful sale and breeding of puppies.
“We’ve had members of the public who have paid substantial amounts for these puppies, paid large veterinary fees, and have been left traumatised by their experiences. I hope today’s activity will highlight our commitment to tackling this type of crime, and I would urge anyone who feels they have been affected by this, please contact us so that we can act."
An RSPCA spokesperson said: "We'd urge anyone who wants to get a dog to consider adopting from a rescue charity, like the RSPCA. There are thousands of dogs across the country waiting to find their forever families.
"Anyone who is looking to buy a puppy should be cautious when choosing a breeder and use The Puppy Contract to help them find a happy, healthy dog. Anyone who is concerned about a seller should walk away and report their concerns to the police, Trading Standards or RSPCA."
Anyone with concerns over illegal puppy sales should contact Greater Manchester Police using the online reporting method or calling 101. Concerns can also be reported to the RSPCA.

Ugolino and His Sons, modeled ca. 1860–61, executed in marble 1865–67
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (French, 1827–1875)
Dante's Divine Comedy has always enjoyed favor in the plastic arts. Ugolino, the character that galvanized peoples' fantasies and fears during the second half of the nineteenth century, appears in Canto 33 of the Inferno. This intensely Romantic sculpture derives from the passage in which Dante describes the imprisonment in 1288 and subsequent death by starvation of the Pisan count Ugolino della Gherardesca and his offspring. Carpeaux depicts the moment when Ugolino, condemned to die of starvation, yields to the temptation to devour his children and grandchildren, who cry out to him:
But when to our somber cell was thrown
A slender ray, and each face was lit
I saw in each the aspect of my own,
For very grief both of my hands I bit,
And suddenly from the floor arising they,
Thinking my hunger was the cause of it,
Exclaimed: Father eat thou of us, and stay
Our suffering: thou didst our being dress
In this sad flesh; now strip it all away.
Carpeaux's visionary composition reflects his reverence for Michelangelo, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism. Ugolino and His Sons was completed in plaster in 1861, the last year of his residence at the French Academy in Rome. A sensation in Rome, it brought Carpeaux many commissions. Upon his return to France, Ugolino was cast in bronze at the order of the French Ministry of Fine Arts and exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1863. Later it was moved to the gardens of the Tuilieries, where it was displayed as a pendant to a bronze of the Laocoön. This marble version was executed by the practitioner Bernard under Carpeaux's supervision and completed in time for the Universal Exposition at Paris in 1867. The date inscribed on the marble refers to the original plaster model's completion.

In 1498 Luca Signorelli executed a great altarpiece for the Bichi Chapel in the church of Sant'Agostino, Siena. Two wings, now in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, flanked a statue of Saint Christopher ascribed to Francesco di Giorgio Martini (Musée du Louvre, Paris). The predella is now divided between various museums.
The right wing of the altarpiece represents Saints Augustine, Catherine of Alexandria and the kneeling Anthony of Padua.
Officers forced entry into an abattoir on Higher Bury Street in Stockport on Thursday 30th January 2025, while a second warrant was executed simultaneously at a residential property on Merlin Road in Blackburn, Lancashire.
A man and a woman – both in their thirties – were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking and an offence of slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, contrary to S1 and s2 of The Modern Slavery Act.
A man also in his thirties was arrested at the abattoir after he tried to evaded police, fleeing from the site and hiding on a nearby roof. We discovered he was an Albanian national living and working illegally in the UK. He is now being processed by Immigration Enforcement.
This operation took place after we received disclosure alleging a man who previously worked at the abattoir was a victim of modern day slavery. The claims are that he was forced to live in the abattoir and work around the clock to pay off extortionate debts that were said to be associated with a sponsorship visa and travel expenses.
Detectives acted quickly, following lines of enquiry, gathering potential evidence, and coordinating a joint response with national agencies: the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and Home Office Border Security and Asylum. This included the Salvation Army and Crime and Justice charity.
The team involved in the late-night raid interviewed 30 employees onsite with a keen eye for spotting signs of exploitation. We also seized mobile phones, computer equipment and documentation as our investigations continue.
Detective Sergeant Lee Attenborough from GMP’s Stockport Challenger Team said: “We hope this robust and coordinated action taken in response a concerning report instils confidence in our approach to tackling modern slavery head on.
“Officers spoke with every employee working within the abattoir last night, they were receptive to our presence, and we engaged in good discussions around their working conditions, payment, and terms of employment.
“It’s so important we do this diligence and thankfully there were no further claims of exploitation. We have communicated the support that is available and how to access it should anyone choose to come forward.
“This activity forms one of several active modern slavery investigations within the force. In 2024 we supported more victims of modern slavery and held more offenders accountable for the misery they caused as 80 charges were laid – 40% more than the previous year – and 19 convicted were secured, up from seven, with several cases continuing to progress through the criminal justice system.
“Modern slavery is happening across Greater Manchester, and we encourage anyone who is a victim of this crime, or suspect someone they know could be, to report it. You will always be taken seriously, and protection and support is available.
“You can report modern slavery to us using our online crime reporting service."
Debi Lloyd, Head of UK Counter Trafficking Operations at Justice and Care, said: “Our Victim Navigators were deployed alongside police and other agencies on Thursday and it was fantastic to see a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to tackling alleged modern slavery.
‘Navigators are embedded in police forces across the UK and help survivors to rebuild their lives and secure justice against exploiters. We are supporting the survivor in this case and commend their bravery in coming forward.
‘If you are experiencing exploitation, please know you are not alone, and support is available.
‘Every person out there can play a part in fighting modern slavery by learning to spot the signs and reporting any concerns to police or the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700.”
Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) Investigations Manager Michael Heyes said: “The GLAA works to stop the exploitation of workers in the UK and ensure that they are treated fairly. We have powers to investigate modern slavery offences and work with law enforcement and other partners to achieve this end.
“The GLAA has been involved in at least seven modern slavery and human trafficking investigations in Greater Manchester between April 2024 and January 2025.
“The GLAA is an intelligence-led organisation. Anyone with information or concerns about workers being exploited for their labour should email contact@gla.gov.uk or use the online reporting form which can be found at www.gla.gov.uk.”
Director of Anti Trafficking and Modern Slavery for The Salvation Army, Major Kathy Betteridge said: "The Salvation Army was on site today with Greater Manchester Police to make available specialist support for any potential victims of modern slavery identified. It is vital that victims’ needs are assessed, and they receive immediate access to protective care and specialised support, available through a Government contract operated by The Salvation Army.
“We work with survivors as they begin the long journey to rebuild their lives and their trust in humanity. Support provided by The Salvation Army can include intensive 24/7 support for people with high-level needs as well as safe accommodation, counselling and help with returning home, finances and finding employment.
"If you suspect that you, or someone you have come into contact with may be a victim of modern slavery and in need of help, please call The Salvation Army’s 24-hour confidential referral helpline on 0800 808 3733."
Minister for Border Security and Asylum, Dame Angela Eagle MP, said: “Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime that dehumanises people for profit. We are committed to tackling it in all its forms and giving survivors the support and certainty they need to rebuild their lives.
“We know that many people are sold lies about their ability to live and work in the UK and are often subjected to squalid conditions and illegal working hours for little to no pay.
“That’s why, as well as playing a critical safeguarding role, our immigration officers are also ramping up enforcement activity across the country to clamp down on illegal working and the exploitation of illegal workers to put a stop to the abuse of our immigration system and ensure those involved face the full consequences.”
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: "Modern slavery is an appalling crime that has no place in our communities. Exploiting vulnerable people for profit is utterly unacceptable, and I fully support the efforts of our teams in bringing those responsible to justice.
"I’d like to welcome the way different agencies are working in partnership to tackle this disgusting crime. Through Programme Challenger, our partnership with GMP and a broad range of partners from across the public, private and voluntary sectors to tackle serious and organised crime, we are making a real difference, ensuring victims are protected and offenders face the consequences of their actions.
"We all have a part to play in spotting the signs of modern slavery. If something doesn't feel right, take action and report it. And I ask businesses specifically, please consider your supply chains and whether there may be a risk that modern slavery is happening where you access goods and services.
"Greater Manchester will not tolerate such exploitation, and we remain committed to rooting it out wherever it occurs."

Lille in the Great War
Lille's occupation by the Germans began on the 13th. October 1914 after a ten-day siege and heavy shelling. The artillery attack destroyed 882 apartment and office blocks and 1,500 houses, mostly around the railway station and in the centre.
By the end of October 1914, the city was being run by German authorities. Because Lille was only 20 km from the battlefield, German troops passed through the city regularly on their way to and from the front.
As a result, occupied Lille became a place for the hospitalisation and the treatment of wounded soldiers as well as a place for soldiers' relaxation and entertainment. Many buildings, homes and businesses were requisitioned for those purposes.
Lille was the hunting ground of the German Great War flying ace Max Immelmann, who was nicknamed "the Eagle of Lille".
Lille was liberated by the Allies on the 17th. October 1918, when General Sir William Birdwood and his troops were welcomed by joyous crowds. The general was made an honorary citizen of the city of Lille on the 28th. October 1918.
The only audio recording known to have been made during the Great War was recorded near Lille in October 1918. The two-minute recording captured the Royal Garrison Artillery conducting a gas shell bombardment.
Monument to the Executed of Lille
The Great War monument in the Square Daubenton in Lille shows four leaders of the city’s Resistance standing against a wall just moments before their execution by the German Army in the dungeons of the citadel.
Along with Léon Trulin, who can be seen lying at their feet, Eugène Jacquet, Georges Maertens, Ernest Deceuninck and Sylvère Verhulst set up a network for communicating information to the Allies about the German occupiers of Lille.
They were eventually betrayed and executed on the 22nd. September 1915.
In total, twenty-five individuals were executed in Lille by firing squad under the occupation. Notices were posted informing the public about executions of political prisoners, saboteurs, and hostages in response to attacks or acts of sabotage against the German occupiers.
An estimated 500,000 French men and women worked for the Resistance during Germany's occupation of France. Resistance workers carried out thousands of acts of sabotage against the German occupiers, even though the risks were great. More than 90,000 members of the Resistance were killed, tortured or deported by the Germans.

Officers from South Manchester Challenger executed multiple warrants at addresses across Manchester on Thursday 23 January 2025.
Officers were supported by partner agencies – Tactical Aid Unit, Regional Crime Unit, other Challenger Teams as part of the investigation into class A and B drugs supply across Greater Manchester.
A large quantity of drugs was discovered at several properties, as well as a loaded and viable firearm. All these items have been seized.
The investigation - which was also aided by intelligence passed to us by the community, alongside a meticulous investigation and proactive policing - has resulted in the arrests of five people.
Four men and one woman between the ages of 22 and 37 were all arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A and B drugs. They have all been remanded into custody.
Officers have also seized a large quantity of drugs and other items related to the supply of illegal drugs.
Detective Constable Helen Rutter, of our South Manchester Challenger Team, said: “Today’s warrants and arrests are part of an on-going investigation in relation to distribution and supply of class A and B drugs in and around the South Manchester area.
“Protecting our communities from such criminality means taking a stand against the supply of illegal drugs and firearms. I urge the public to continue keeping this open line of communication with police about criminal activities or expressing their concerns through contacting us directly via LiveChat, speaking to your local neighbourhood officer or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
“Every bit of information, no matter how small, contributes to our investigations across Greater Manchester and could support us in tackling vehicle crime at its root.
"If you have any concerns about crime come and speak to officers or alternatively report through 101 or via LiveChat on gmp.police.uk. Always call 999 in an emergency."

‘Navigators are embedded in police forces across the UK and help survivors to rebuild their lives and secure justice against exploiters. We are supporting the survivor in this case and commend their bravery in coming forward.
‘If you are experiencing exploitation, please know you are not alone, and support is available.
‘Every person out there can play a part in fighting modern slavery by learning to spot the signs and reporting any concerns to police or the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700.”
Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) Investigations Manager Michael Heyes said: “The GLAA works to stop the exploitation of workers in the UK and ensure that they are treated fairly. We have powers to investigate modern slavery offences and work with law enforcement and other partners to achieve this end.
“The GLAA has been involved in at least seven modern slavery and human trafficking investigations in Greater Manchester between April 2024 and January 2025.
“The GLAA is an intelligence-led organisation. Anyone with information or concerns about workers being exploited for their labour should email contact@gla.gov.uk or use the online reporting form which can be found at www.gla.gov.uk.”
Director of Anti Trafficking and Modern Slavery for The Salvation Army, Major Kathy Betteridge said: "The Salvation Army was on site today with Greater Manchester Police to make available specialist support for any potential victims of modern slavery identified. It is vital that victims’ needs are assessed, and they receive immediate access to protective care and specialised support, available through a Government contract operated by The Salvation Army.
“We work with survivors as they begin the long journey to rebuild their lives and their trust in humanity. Support provided by The Salvation Army can include intensive 24/7 support for people with high-level needs as well as safe accommodation, counselling and help with returning home, finances and finding employment.
"If you suspect that you, or someone you have come into contact with may be a victim of modern slavery and in need of help, please call The Salvation Army’s 24-hour confidential referral helpline on 0800 808 3733."
Minister for Border Security and Asylum, Dame Angela Eagle MP, said: “Modern slavery is an abhorrent crime that dehumanises people for profit. We are committed to tackling it in all its forms and giving survivors the support and certainty they need to rebuild their lives.
“We know that many people are sold lies about their ability to live and work in the UK and are often subjected to squalid conditions and illegal working hours for little to no pay.
“That’s why, as well as playing a critical safeguarding role, our immigration officers are also ramping up enforcement activity across the country to clamp down on illegal working and the exploitation of illegal workers to put a stop to the abuse of our immigration system and ensure those involved face the full consequences.”
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: "Modern slavery is an appalling crime that has no place in our communities. Exploiting vulnerable people for profit is utterly unacceptable, and I fully support the efforts of our teams in bringing those responsible to justice.
"I’d like to welcome the way different agencies are working in partnership to tackle this disgusting crime. Through Programme Challenger, our partnership with GMP and a broad range of partners from across the public, private and voluntary sectors to tackle serious and organised crime, we are making a real difference, ensuring victims are protected and offenders face the consequences of their actions.
"We all have a part to play in spotting the signs of modern slavery. If something doesn't feel right, take action and report it. And I ask businesses specifically, please consider your supply chains and whether there may be a risk that modern slavery is happening where you access goods and services.
"Greater Manchester will not tolerate such exploitation, and we remain committed to rooting it out wherever it occurs."

Arbour Hill Prison is a prison and military cemetery located in the Arbour Hill area near Heuston Station.
The military cemetery is the burial place of 14 of the executed leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Among those buried there are Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Major John MacBride. The leaders were executed in Kilmainham Gaol and their bodies were transported to Arbour Hill for burial.
The graves are located under a low mound on a terrace of Wicklow granite in what was once the old prison yard. The grave site is surrounded by a limestone wall on which the names are inscribed in Irish and English. On the prison wall opposite the grave site is a plaque with the names of other people who were killed in 1916.
The prison was designed by Sir Joshua Jebb and Frederick Clarendon and opened on its present site in 1848, to house military prisoners.
The adjoining Church of the Sacred Heart, which is the prison chapel for Arbour Hill prison, is maintained by the Department of Defence. At the rear of the church lies the old cemetery, where lie the remains of British military personnel who died in the Dublin area in the 19th and early 20th century.
The church has an unusual entrance porch with stairs leading to twin galleries for visitors in the nave and transept.
A doorway beside the 1916 memorial gives access to the Irish United Nations Veterans' Association house and memorial garden.

Lille in the Great War
Lille's occupation by the Germans began on the 13th. October 1914 after a ten-day siege and heavy shelling. The artillery attack destroyed 882 apartment and office blocks and 1,500 houses, mostly around the railway station and in the centre.
By the end of October 1914, the city was being run by German authorities. Because Lille was only 20 km from the battlefield, German troops passed through the city regularly on their way to and from the front.
As a result, occupied Lille became a place for the hospitalisation and the treatment of wounded soldiers as well as a place for soldiers' relaxation and entertainment. Many buildings, homes and businesses were requisitioned for those purposes.
Lille was the hunting ground of the German Great War flying ace Max Immelmann, who was nicknamed "the Eagle of Lille".
Lille was liberated by the Allies on the 17th. October 1918, when General Sir William Birdwood and his troops were welcomed by joyous crowds. The general was made an honorary citizen of the city of Lille on the 28th. October 1918.
The only audio recording known to have been made during the Great War was recorded near Lille in October 1918. The two-minute recording captured the Royal Garrison Artillery conducting a gas shell bombardment.
Monument to the Executed of Lille
The Great War monument in the Square Daubenton in Lille shows four leaders of the city’s Resistance standing against a wall just moments before their execution by the German Army in the dungeons of the citadel.
Along with Léon Trulin, who can be seen lying at their feet, Eugène Jacquet, Georges Maertens, Ernest Deceuninck and Sylvère Verhulst set up a network for communicating information to the Allies about the German occupiers of Lille.
They were eventually betrayed and executed on the 22nd. September 1915.
In total, twenty-five individuals were executed in Lille by firing squad under the occupation. Notices were posted informing the public about executions of political prisoners, saboteurs, and hostages in response to attacks or acts of sabotage against the German occupiers.
An estimated 500,000 French men and women worked for the Resistance during Germany's occupation of France. Resistance workers carried out thousands of acts of sabotage against the German occupiers, even though the risks were great. More than 90,000 members of the Resistance were killed, tortured or deported by the Germans.

Short story (in russian):
Officers forced entry into an abattoir on Higher Bury Street in Stockport on Thursday 30th January 2025, while a second warrant was executed simultaneously at a residential property on Merlin Road in Blackburn, Lancashire.
A man and a woman – both in their thirties – were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking and an offence of slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, contrary to S1 and s2 of The Modern Slavery Act.
A man also in his thirties was arrested at the abattoir after he tried to evaded police, fleeing from the site and hiding on a nearby roof. We discovered he was an Albanian national living and working illegally in the UK. He is now being processed by Immigration Enforcement.
This operation took place after we received disclosure alleging a man who previously worked at the abattoir was a victim of modern day slavery. The claims are that he was forced to live in the abattoir and work around the clock to pay off extortionate debts that were said to be associated with a sponsorship visa and travel expenses.
Detectives acted quickly, following lines of enquiry, gathering potential evidence, and coordinating a joint response with national agencies: the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and Home Office Border Security and Asylum. This included the Salvation Army and Crime and Justice charity.
The team involved in the late-night raid interviewed 30 employees onsite with a keen eye for spotting signs of exploitation. We also seized mobile phones, computer equipment and documentation as our investigations continue.
Detective Sergeant Lee Attenborough from GMP’s Stockport Challenger Team said: “We hope this robust and coordinated action taken in response a concerning report instils confidence in our approach to tackling modern slavery head on.
“Officers spoke with every employee working within the abattoir last night, they were receptive to our presence, and we engaged in good discussions around their working conditions, payment, and terms of employment.
“It’s so important we do this diligence and thankfully there were no further claims of exploitation. We have communicated the support that is available and how to access it should anyone choose to come forward.
“This activity forms one of several active modern slavery investigations within the force. In 2024 we supported more victims of modern slavery and held more offenders accountable for the misery they caused as 80 charges were laid – 40% more than the previous year – and 19 convicted were secured, up from seven, with several cases continuing to progress through the criminal justice system.
“Modern slavery is happening across Greater Manchester, and we encourage anyone who is a victim of this crime, or suspect someone they know could be, to report it. You will always be taken seriously, and protection and support is available.
“You can report modern slavery to us using our online crime reporting service."

The decoration of the apse was executed by the Franciscan Jacopo Torriti, and the work was paid for by Cardinals Giacomo and Pietro Colonna.
Torriti's mosaic is divided into two distinct parts. The central medallion of the apse shows the Coronation of the Virgin while the lower band illustrates the most important moments of her life. In the center of the medallion, enclosed by concentric circles, Jesus and Mary are seated on a large oriental throne. The Son is placing a jeweled crown on Mary's head. In this mosaic, Mary is not only seen as mother but as Mother Church, bride of her Son. The sun, the moon and a choir of adoring angels are arranged around their feet, while St. Peter, St. Paul, and St. Francis of Assisi along with Pope Nicholas IV flank them on the left. On the right, Torriti portrayed St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, St. Anthony and the donor, Cardinal Colonna.
