The Shadow Life of Cyril Smith Part 2: Cambridge House of Hell
Manage episode 373992035 series 2866897
Born into poverty without a father in 1928 Rochdale, UK, Cyril Smith was one of the most recognizable MPs that Britain has ever seen. Tall, overweight, and brash, he was a force of nature in the political arena. A champion of the common man, Smith cast a shadow across Rochdale that is still felt to this day. But there was another side to Cyril Smith; a darker, more predatory side that was talked about in the shadows but never allowed to see the light of day. This week we look at Smith’s first political victories and the founding of a youth hostel call Cambridge House
