Dark hair and beard

Dark brown hair on the top of his head, but his facial hair was "light sandy-coloured" (Dundee Courier and Argus, March 29, 1889).

Its also worth noting that Bury although not a big man had supposedly had powerfully built arms and shoulders.

Thought I’d mention that a letter written by James Berry shortly after his execution of William Bury has come up for auction:

There’s no JTR talk from Berry in the letter, but of interest is his suggestion that Bury was a strong man, and also of interest is his description of Bury as a man of unusual nerve.

According to The Courier, the letter went for £1,300, about two or three times what was estimated.
