The Forgotten Baby of Flaxmoss: A Story Time Tried to Bury

Loading

A cold January morning in Victorian Haslingden. Two council scavengers empty a routine pail in the quiet hamlet of Flaxmoss – only to uncover a discovery that would shock the entire valley.

In this video, we revisit the tragic and long-forgotten case of the Flaxmoss Infant: a tiny body found among the ashes and refuse of everyday life.

Through surviving records, inquest testimony, and the grim realities of Victorian poverty, we unravel the mystery surrounding this child’s final moments, asking whether this was a crime, a desperate act, or a tragedy lost to time.

This is the haunting story of a community shaken, a mother’s hidden sorrow, and a life that never had the chance to begin.
