This Day In History: 1914-06-01

1914 – Rioting breaks out in Andover over the sentencing of a young woman. The under-resourced local police needed to be supported by officers from Winchester and the local fire brigade who were prepared to use water hoses on the crowd. After several days, the disturbances, which left a scene of carnage throughout the town, was finally quashed by the arrival of the mounted branch.
