This study reveals a fascinating dynamic between the legally qualified coroner

Policemen and Their Moustaches: (Self-)Fashioning Professional Identity in Nineteenth Century Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Northern History (IF 0.2) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Clare Sandford-Couch
In April 1861, a local newspaper commented favourably on permission being granted to allow the policemen of Newcastle upon Tyne to wear moustaches, and on the moustaches they subsequently grew. The article demonstrates that these moustaches had an important role to play in the visual construction and performance of social, collective, and professional identities for individual members of the police
