Angels with Manky Faces archiveJimmy Johnson is the leader of the Bengal Tigers, the most feared of all the scuttling gangs. Leading a life of gratuitous violence and casual sex, Jimmy is a lucky lad. But when a sultry Irish beauty arrives at his favourite brothel, trouble breaks out between the sheets and in the streets. Angels With Manky Faces is inspired by The Gangs of Manchester, the best-selling book by Andrew Davies, which tells the story of the scuttlers, Britain's first youth cult. Set in the streets and gin shops of Ancoats in 1894.
