EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the London Apprentice Inn in Isleworth, London, known as a favorite haunt of highwaymen. Taken by Donald McLeish in the early 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Wonderful Britain, Its Highways Byways & Historic Places". The inn's historical significance as a gathering place for notorious thieves is evident in its architecture, which exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The London Apprentice Inn stands proudly amidst bustling streets filled with cafes and taverns. Its white facade contrasts against the dark shadows cast by nearby buildings, creating an atmosphere that hints at illicit activities taking place within its walls. This image transports us back to a time when robbery and theft were common occurrences on England's highways. Highwaymen would frequent this establishment to plan their next heist or seek refuge after committing crimes. They were skilled pickpockets and light-fingered thieves who posed a constant threat to travelers passing through Isleworth. The inn became synonymous with criminal activity during this era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the darker side of history - where lawbreakers roamed freely under cover of darkness. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary places can hold secrets from our past.
