Talk:HM Prison Parkhurst

Billum Ormrod

Billum Ormrod, from Haydock, Lancashire, was the first escapee from Parkhurst long before the 'famous', much publicised, 1995 escape. Escaping from the prison and getting to the mainland before returning to his mother's home, in Park Street, Haydock, Lancashire, where he was duly arrested by the local sergeant and placed in a police cell before being transported back to Parkhurst. That would be in the late 1940's early 1950's. He ended up owning (or part owning) New Brighton funfair, Wirral, and a popular members club in the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.249.162 (talk) 16:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
