Records of HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs consisting of nominal registers of prisoners 1917-1967, are arranged chronologically within three groups, namely, youth registers, adult registers and Borstal training registers. Indexes have been deposited for each group. In addition a number of unidentified pages of photographs were deposited with the registers.

The Wensley Family Archive (c 1890-1950) includes the following material:

1) Correspondence and Related Material. This is currently stored in 11 level arch files and is listed under over a thousand item numbers. Some further material continues to come to light and may be offered to Bishopsgate in due course. In the final file there is some material relating to the period after FPW's death consisting of condolence letters and letters from former colleagues.

2) Other Family Papers. Specifically these contain: FPW's diaries; plus those of his wife and daughter. There is also much material relating to Masonic Lodges and social events. There are three note books kept by FPW relating his various arrests of criminals and the commendations he received for these. There are various other items relating to his professional career including two volumes of Hansard from 1928 - together with much family ephemera. There is, for example, an autograph book dating to the early 1920s which contains some curious drawings and watercolours and what appears to be a page containing the signatures of the Arsenal First Team c 1936.

3) Newspaper Cuttings. There are three separate files (the first two in large guardbook folios prepared by FPW) - the third in a lever arch file collated in 2007. The first two contain large amounts of material going back to the 1890s relating to many of the cases with which FPW was involved - in particular there is a large amount of space devoted to the Sidney Street Siege; the Trial of Stinie Morrison (both 1911) and the Thompson Bywaters case of 1921. The third file brings together press cuttings from the period 1911 to 1946 which largely relate to a series of items written by FPW for the Sunday press in the early 1930s.

4) Two Unpublished Typescripts. 1) Burnett, R.J. 1960? Wensley of Scotland Yard: The Life and Adventures of the 'Ace' Detective. It is of interest in that Burnett had access to both Edie Cory and certain former colleagues of FPW from Metropolitan Police Days. In this context item 57 in the collection is a note by Edie in three parts (typescript, manuscript and shorthand) of her earliest recollections which was almost certainly compiled at about this time to inform the writing of the biography. 2) Robinson, D.J., 2007. The Wensley Family at War, Work and Play (1890 to 1950). This book was written by Dr David J. Robinson for family distribution and with a view to forming the basis of a book for commercial publication.

5) Drawings - There are a number of important survivals; in particular some originals pertaining to the Sidney Street Siege (1911) and a cartoon of the 'Big Four' at Scotland Yard.

6) Postcards. Although some are included under 1) where it has been possible to identify the writer, recipient and date - a large number are still separate. The evolution of the postcard as a means of social networking and virtually instant communication is well documented.

7) Manuscript Commonplace Books. Two have been preserved from this period - one relating to FPW and the second to his son Harold William. There is also a third relating to his grandson Harold Cory but this logically forms part of the later collection.

8) Prize Books. Family school prize books are well represented from the period 1905 to 1915 and are in exceptional condition; these include volumes from Dempsey Street School and St Olave's Grammar School.

9) Other Books. FPW had a small library of profession literature and this, together with some other items from the family library, has survived.

10) Photographs - There is an extensive collection of these and they are being identified where possible. Photographs, however, were often printed onto a postcard in the early years of the 20th century - making family and commercial material sometimes difficult to separate.

11) Sheet Music - A small collection of sheet music has survived demonstrating the type of music popular with the family in the 1890s until 1914.

12) Other Ephemera and Artefacts. Other material has survived which is included where it is considered that it may add value to the archive overall.

Note concerning provenance of papers (1995); photocopies of press-cuttings (1995).

Records of HM Prison, Wandsworth. The records relate to prison administration, the prisoners, and, to a much a lesser extent, the prison staff. The earliest records are a minute and letter book, 1847-1850, and a letter book, 1848-1852, of the Committee for building a new prison in Surrey (ACC/3444/AD/01/001-002).

With regard to records relating to prisoners, the main series is the nominal registers (ACC/3444/PR/01), giving details of the name, age, trade, education, and religion of the prisoner, the date of committal, details of the offence and sentence and the date of discharge. These are in chronological order and run from 1879 to 1956, with several volumes produced each year. Unfortunately, there are only a few indexes to these registers. Those that survive run from 1940 to 1956 only (ACC/3444/PR/02).

The other important series giving details about individual prisoners are the registers of executions, 1892-1961 (ACC/3444/PR/03), and files on condemned prisoners, 1933-1954 (ACC/3444/PR/04).

Also of interest is a series of glass plates of prison officers and prisoners from 1920 to the 1930s.

PLEASE NOTE: In accordance with Home Office regulations, the entire collection is subject to a 30 year closure period, with the exception of some particularly sensitive series, which are subject to longer closure periods. These are all marked on the catalogue.
