Edwardian England's drunkards 1904




Are you related to any of these people? Or do you know anyone who is? If so, then tell us your story by contacting news@dailymail.co.uk
Personally I'd be ashamed if any of these were an ancestor of mine but, then again, it would explain a lot.

  2. In those days the punishment fit the crime, Don. 21 days of hard labour for drunk and disorderly. These days young people merely sleep it off in a cozy cell.

    Shudder.

  4. My great grandmother looked like a bedstead polisher. I think I'll do some genealogical research.
