Preston, Fishergate c1965
We are sure that the policeman standing in his box doing point duty was our dad, PC Mcginty or number 100. He was a policeman for forty years with Preston borough and we and a lot of Preston people have fond memories of him standing in that spot.

RE: RE: Preston, Fishergate c1965
As a former resident of Preston I remember this traffic junction well. Four years later I joined the Lancashire Constabulary, where I worked for a time with PC Raymond McGinty, he was the station duty officer. As an ex Preston Borough policeman he told me tales of life policing Preston. It was hillarious. A good policeman, a lovely person with a fantastic sense of humour. A keen North End fan, a pleasure to work with. I must say that the stories he told me would certainly not happen today. By the way, the station I worked at with PC McGinty was Bamber Bridge, it's now a pub, now that would have tickled him pink.
