Henry Goddard: Memoirs of a Bow Street Runner

During the Regency and early Victorian eras, Henry Goddard, one of the last of the Bow Street Runners, chased criminals in London and through out the Kingdom, and around the globe; to France, Australia, New York, the Wild West; and made private enquiries for the King of England.

Born in 1800 in London, he was employed at Bow Street in London as a Patrol Constable from 1824 until he was promoted to be a Runner in 1827 and he remained a Runner until the Bow Street Runners were disbanded in 1839, and he became a private detective.

He wrote his memoirs after he retired, but they were not published until 1957 in hardback.

Quaystone Books has now republished the Memoirs in hardback, paperback and as an ebook.
