Photo Set of the Day: Gallery of the black-listed Edwardian drunks of Birmingham, circa 1904.
From the Daily Mail:
Angry, bewildered and shame-faced these Edwardian drunks stare into the lens of the police camera.
They were ‘habitual drunkards’ whose offences included being caught while in charge of a horse, carriage and even a steam engine.
Issued a century ago, the drunks were given the equivalent of modern-day Asbos in that they were banned from being served in pubs because of their past behaviour.
The Black List was kept intact at Holt Brewery for over a century, and made available to the public by Ancestry.co.uk.
