In a cut-throat rise from rags to riches, this vivacious street-walker from South London would soon establish her throne as Sydney’s Queen Madam and build an empire of dingy bordellos across Eastern Sydney. Delving into the dimly-lit underworld where Tilly and her husband Big Jim plied their nefarious trades alongside rival paramours Norman Bruhn and Nellie Cameron, crime historian and raconteur Max Burns-McRuvie will bring to life the sensational stories behind the bordellos and bruisers of Sydney in the 1920s and ‘30s. Enjoy an evening filled with cocktails, quirks and colourful criminal careers inside the Justice & Police Museum plus a chance to explore the museum after dark.
