    There might be some Irish political prisoners among them, but they look like they are from Africa, unless the photo was underexposed.

    “Convicts being searched on return from work”
    The work was in the stone quarries, early 1900s

    it is truly sad when a 15 year old girl has to go to prison for stealing a coat.
  • ritterbush said:
    poor little one just trying to keep warm thats all
  • Steven Jackson said:
    Poor wee thing! Is this what we are heading back to with the erosion of social security! Wonder how many girls of her age were also driven into prostitution just to get food and clothes...
  • wattlesong said:

    Still in Woolwich at the 1871 census. Started an apprenticeship in the Merchant Navy in 1874, but cancelled. Has he tried to run away to sea perhaps?
