Secret Brecon By Mal Morris

“Secret Brecon” by Mal Morrison is an evocative and richly illustrated exploration of the hidden history beneath Brecon’s serene surface. From grisly public executions on the Usk’s banks to daring poaching battles, the overlooked grave of a Crimean Victoria Cross hero, and tales of nobles, Napoleonic prisoners, and a hometown Bond actor, Morrison unveils Brecon’s lesser-known past.

Fully illustrated in full colour and spanning 96 pages, this Amberley 'Secret' series title weaves local tragedy, valor, vanished places, and colourful characters into a compelling portrait of the town. A must‑read for anyone intrigued by forgotten episodes of Welsh heritage.
