Willyslancs Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just found this pic ,( thought it was interesting). The Siege of Sidney Street, popularly known as the "Battle of Stepney", was a notorious gunfight in London's East End in 1911. It ended with the deaths of two members of a politically-motivated gang of burglars supposedly led by Peter Piatkow, a.k.a. "Peter the Painter", and sparked a major political row over the involvement of the Home Secretary, Winston Churchill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
