the real historical characters behind #AThousandBlows 👇 #MaryCarr was a pickpocket & blackmailer (she didn't carry a gun or organise Harrods shoplifting), #AliceDiamond led the #40Elephants an all female crime syndicate in the early 1900s
Just watched ep. 1 of #AThousandBlows. Love a drama based on historical characters & this looks a very good one.
If you want to know the true story of #MaryCarr & #40Elephants I thoroughly recommend reading #QueensOfTheUnderworld by @caitlindavies.bsky.social
