Highwaymen were people who rode on the backs of horses stopping travellers (mainly ones in coaches) anywhere so they could steal valuable items e.g. gold, money. When they found a coach the highwaymen would hold up a pistol to rich ladies and gentleman inside the coach. Then as the petrified people would not want to be shot, they would unwillingly give away their treasure.

Why was hampstead a target for highwaymen?

Hampstead was a target for highwaymen due to its location near major roads leading into London, making it a convenient spot for robbers to ambush travelers. Its affluent residents and visitors also attracted criminals seeking to steal valuables. Additionally, the area's relative seclusion, with wooded terrain and hills, provided cover for highwaymen to operate with some anonymity. The combination of wealth and geography made Hampstead a prime target during the height of highway robbery in the 17th and 18th centuries.
