EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image from the pages of The Illustrated London News captures the thrilling moment during the Great Train Robbery saga when Ronnie Biggs and other prisoners made their daring escape from Wandsworth Prison in 1965. The notorious criminal, who was serving time for his involvement in the £2.6 million heist, is seen leaping over the prison wall into the waiting getaway vehicle below. The escape, which took place on July 7, 1965, was a significant moment in the long-running saga of the Great Train Robbery, one of the most infamous crimes in British history. Biggs and his accomplices had managed to evade capture for several months following the robbery, but their time in prison was short-lived. This image, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News, provides a fascinating glimpse into this audacious escape and the lengths to which criminals will go to evade justice." "The Great Train Robbery, also known as the 'Hatton Garden Gang' or 'The 15 Hand Gang', was a daring raid on a train carrying mail and other valuables, which took place on August 8, 1963. The robbers, led by Bruce Reynolds, managed to make off with over £2.6 million in cash and securities, making it one of the largest cash seizures in British history at the time. The robbery and subsequent escapes kept the public captivated for months, and the criminals became folk heroes to some. However, the majority of the stolen money was eventually recovered, and most of the robbers were eventually caught and brought to justice." "This image, from the extensive collection of historical prints available at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on this intriguing chapter in British criminal history. The Illustrated London News, first published in 1842, has a long-standing reputation for providing high-quality journalism and stunning visuals, making it an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the past.
