By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/british-criminals-of-a-century-ago.htmlIt may seem to some that British women of the time of King Edward were modest and reserved, but these police photographs prove otherwise. Shown here are 12 women who were arrested in 1903 and 1904. These pictures remind us that nostalgia for the past is not always appropriate, and that it used to be just as restless and cruel as it is now.
(Total 12 photos)
1. Mabel Smith. Arrested for misappropriation of property in September 1903.
2. Susan Joyce. Arrested for theft in August 1903.
3. Suzanne Adamson is especially well dressed for the police picture.
4. Charlotte Adamson. Arrested for theft. She is under 19 years old.
5. Mary Scott was arrested in December 1903.
6. Annie Anderson is proof of how fashion has changed in these 110 years.
7. Sarah Petterson. Arrested for theft in 1904.
8. Catherine O'Brien. The old shawl indicates that she was not very wealthy.
9. Alice Kosh is another resident of North Shields, a traditional fishing town that turned into a shipbuilding center during the Industrial Revolution.
10. Pictures like this one remind us that not everything was smooth sailing in Edward's era.
11. The town of North Shields is located 12 km east of Newcastle.
12. However, this city was famous not only for its shipbuilding industry, but also for its poverty, which explains such police photographs.
