How were people of color treated in the early 19th century in England. I am watching "The Frankenstein Chronicles" and there is a black policeman as a main character and no one seems to make an issue of it. I'm having trouble believing that would be accurate. The story takes place in 1827-1830.

I'm watching the "Frankenstein Chronicles" on Netflix. There is a character who is a policeman who is of African descent. How were Blacks treated in England in 1927? I haven't seen any reference to his race in the show.
