Professor David Taylor has established a fine reputation for his books and articles on the history of policing in England. This new book on Huddersfield policing looks at the mid-nineteenth century and issues facing the local area in relation to policing a centre of West Riding textile production. “The alliterative title of his
book… reveals the lively style adopted by the author throughout which will
appeal to the general reader as much as to the academic researcher.” Hargreaves, J.A. (2016) Beerhouses, Brothels and Bobbies. Historical Association. Available at: https://www.history.org.uk/historian/resource/9048/beerhouses-brothels-and-bobbies (Accessed: 17 February 2026).
