Gertie's Gone

Gertie’s Gone

Fourteen-year-old Gertie Percival was found dying on the railway track near Attercliffe in November 1899. How did she come to her tragic end?

Tales from the Rails are ten short audio dramas researched, written and performed by young people and community members centred around Newfield School, Sheffield. The group researched the history of the Sheffield railway line and used their discoveries to create scripts which they then recorded, with the help and support of Whitworks Adventures in Theatre. The project was supported by East Midlands Railway Community Fund.
