When Leonard 'Nipper' Read started his career with the Nottinghamshire Police Force, the ' villains ' arrested still used that phrase.
'Nipper' Read went fairly swiftly into 'plain clothes', mainly because his superiors thought he was too short for the regulation copper uniform. He became an expert in using disguise and perhaps found his greatest fame in breaking the Kray Gang which had terrorised the East End of London for years. Now retired, 'Nipper' Read talks to Margaret Howard about his early career and his battle against one of the most vicious and violent gangs ever known in this country.
