  Sleeping out. Vagrancy?

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Hi Paul, Yes, that's my understanding. William Morrisey was arrested for what is often nowadays called 'sleeping rough'. It was an offence under the Vagrancy Act of 1824.

  Incredible how people back then could suck up their misfortune and keep on. But I guess they didn't have a lot of choice...

  Superb!! Amazing image.

  Haha a funny fella too. Folk hit hard times and addiction to 'numb' memories can set in. A shame really but he kept his humour.
