Alice Cartwright

Mrs Cartwright was wife to Bernard Cartwright and mother of Amelia Cartwright.

In the late 1800s Mrs Cartwright began an affair with another man behind her husband's back, after her betrayal was discovered Bernard murdered both her and her lover and was later hanged for his crimes. Nearly a hundred years later in 1994, Ken Barlow began researching the case for the local paper but was warned off by Mrs Cartwright's grandson Fred Elliott who wanted his family's dark past to remain buried.
