'The Kingdom Of The Rough'

Re-creating the street gangs of the 1800's. The Bengal Tigers fought the Holland Street Gang, amoungst others, patrolling Oldham Street and Ancoats, 'The Kingdom Of The Rough'. Youth gang culture was a huge problem in Victorian Manchester. They carried knives, wore a fashionable uniform (including a proto-Burberry) and terrified everyone. Fighting in the streets and 'Monkey Parades'.
