Life was so hard for boys suffering poverty they would join criminal gangs to steal food and goods from boats. This video is the true story of a Victorian mudlark who fell in with a gang he met at a London school. They would go out thieving at night for coals from barges and rope from ships and would also steal bread, bacon and pudding. But this mudlark was lucky enough to meet Henry Mayhew – a journalist who helped him escape a life of crime in the gangs and gainful employment. Many were not so lucky.
