Ganging up on the residents of Kingswood's Cock Road.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
MANY of the residents of Kingswood will have heard of the notorious Cock Road Gang.
It was almost entirely made up of members of the Caines family. They terrorised the good folk of the area from the early 18th century right up until 1834, which was when George Caines - who had been arrested almost immediately after burgling various silver and gold items from Dyrham Park mansion - was transported for life to New South Wales, Australia.
With his departure, 60 years of one extended family's lawlessness seemed to have come to an end.
Throughout Georgian times Kings Chase, which had once been part of the ancient Kingswood Forest, had a reputation as one of the most unruly and lawless places in the country. In those days it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Bristol magistrates and ignored by the authorities in far-away Gloucester.
