The Village Policeman
My father was the village policeman in the late 30s. My first memories was the police house next door to the garage, and the sweet shop with a lot of steps, (is it still there) the bridge sticks in my mind. The time dad chopped his leg badly and we were shipped off to Grandma's and we had a car accident we made the papers that day (would love a copy of that). My first school teacher Miss Negus, and going to Sunday school and collecting my stamps for attending. I have an old photo of our policehouse taken by my brother on one of his vists.
I now reside in Australia but I still feel a touch of nostalgia for my home country.

RE: RE: The Village Policeman
Pamela, I am researching police history in Bletsoe /Sharnbrook Division up to 1967 and would love to use an old photo of Police House in Harrold. What was your father's name? I am compiling a full list of officers who served in that Division from 1840, hence will have seen him in the Police Orders. Do you have any photos of your father in uniform?
