Thomas H. Watson, arrested while preparing to commit a crime

  Nice sleuthing :o) Still...i feel sorry for the lad

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Thanks. I feel sorry for a lot of the prisoners too - quite a few of them probably had terrible childhoods, which they never really recovered from. I've done a bit of research recently and added the stories to quite a few images uploaded over the past six months or so. If you look back through the sets you might find some more interesting stories. It's always intriguing to discover if the reported crimes match my initial reaction to each prisoner.

Ellen Leavy alias Burns, arrested for stealing clothes

from North East Museums

  It's staggering that not so long ago clothes were stolen in such numbers. I guess it was the only thing which traded well?

• bawdy kittens said:

  I guess that time of year (late Feb/early March) in North Shields people would have been more than happy to pay for boots and warm winter clothes "on the cheap" ... some people couldn't even afford to buy boots at all in 1906. There was no social security then ... you lived on your wits.

  That's very true! I'd forgotten about how lucky we are now..
