The Gangs of Manchester is a book, a research project, a topic of debate, a series of events, a play…On Andrew’s blog (on the home page) you’ll find regular updates on the book and related events. As these are archived, you’ll find archived material here.
COVER MUG-SHOTS
The book’s cover features three Salford scuttlers of the 1890s: William Henry Brooks (centre); James Brown (left) and John Wallace, alias McInerney (right). They were photographed by police in Rochdale in 1894, after they were caught stealing a shawl from a washing line. The mug-shots were discovered in the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum.
