The Wilds of London – James Greenwood, 1874:
AN EXPLORATION INTO “JACK KETCH’S WARREN.”
A single policeman is rarely, if ever, seen in Frying-pan Alley, Bit Alley, Rose Alley, or the Broad Yard, in the course of his perambulations ‘on beat:’ it would be scarcely safe in riotous seasons for him to show a face there, and secure harbour is thus afforded to thieves.
Great image. I love the concept behind it too. I found you via Dave and Angie Shiress – friends of mine. Look forward to more.
Welcome Fraser, good old Dave and Angie spreading the word!
