Earlier I answered a question from Bryan about 173-175 High Street, Watford, and he emailed back to explain why Charles Bradley was no longer running a shop in Watford High Street at the time of the 1881 census. Undoubtedly there will have been extensive cover in the Watford Observer but I decided to use the incident as another test of the British Newspaper Archive. The above description of the riot comes from The Graphic and I have posted reports of the serious riot from several other papers.
