Tottenham Outrage 1909

On a recent trip to London, I visited Abney Park Cemetery. The last resting place of Police Constable William Tyler.
 

I took these photographs, which I thought might be of interest?

A few feet away from Constable Tyler’s grave. Is the grave of 10 year old Ralph Joscelyne, who was also shot and killed during this incident.

Absolutely dreadful, tragic incident. Great photos, just a shame to see them neglected but I think you did a good deed remembering them with this in the hustle and bustle of modern life. The reality is, very few people would have a clue who these people were. Even current job who arent interested in history would know. Sad really to think that.

There is also a large bronze memorial to PC Tyrer in All Saints Church, Child's Hill. His widow, Emily, Nee Burfield married again on 15th April 1915 to a PC William George Williams of "J" Division. William retired from the Police in 1924 and he and his wife opened a Refreshment Kiosk on the  Southend arterial road at Nevedon but lived in Oak Cottage (An Oak Cottage also featured in the chase and suicide of one of PC Tyrer's Murderers ! ) Crays Hill, Essex where in 1925 Mrs Williams discovered her husband had committed suicide. (Not a lucky house name ) Emily, who continued to run the Kiosk, died in 1936/7 and was buried with her first husband, PC Tyrer

Oops just noticed I refer to Tyrer and it should be Tyler
