Billy Kimber's Birmingham home is given in Gangs of London by Brian McDonald, published recently by MILO. There is a chapter on Kimber and a photo, and much on the Elephant and Castle gang with which he was associated, and the story of the Forty Elephants all-female gang of shoplifters that is causing a stir at the moment. The Garrison Lane Vendetta is also featured. Birmingmam Mail, April 20, has copied the story and photo, best to buy the book though.
