This photo has always been described as showing Henry and Francis Tidbury in handcuffs. However, there is now (Oct 2015) some doubt. In "One Hundred Years of Berkshire Constabulary, 1856-1956" the photo is captioned "In Custody", and appears to be associated with a later murder of PC John Charlton in 1899. The quality and style of the photo fits better with 1899 than 1876.
