About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live
there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money
in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen.
