Summary

[edit]
Description

You often hear the expression "Health and Safety gone mad" and I always thought it was a modern phenomenon but it appears that the Health and Safety industry was going strong in the 1890s as this Metropolitan Police Public Notice testifies. Col. Sir Edward Bradford was Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police from 1890 to 1903 and by all accounts he was an excellent Commissioner and probably the only one with a missing left arm which was lost during an encounter with a Bengal Tigress in India where he was first a soldier and then civil servant.

It is easy to be flippant about slipping on a banana skin but I know a barber in Rye who slipped on a discarded banana skin in the local market and broke his hip. You have been warned!
