More about this scene
A member of the local constabulary is on point duty in Lord Street. The wearing of white coats was introduced in some towns during the Second World War; it gave the policeman at least a sporting chance of not being run down during the blackout. There was even a plan in the 1960s to issue policemen on point duty with helmets that had a revolving flashing light on the top.
