Bit late isn't it? I'd sack your paperboy if I were you

So there was a Media Committee, an Entertainments Committee, a P.S.I. Committee and a Welfare Committee - and that's just from the front page.

There's a lot of it about ..... (I might have put this up elsewhere.) Staffs Advertiser 1964 celebrates the Littleworth Mob.

I got this from eBay - a guy in North Dakota. Only one I’ve seen though I’m sure more exist.

From time time I browse stuff related to Stafford

A fire station in a central location - that was a good idea.

Police stations near to where crimes happen. No need to drive a car really fast down 30mph roads and risk killing people.

On an old map that I have, the odd house on Beaconside, between the two Sandon Road junctions, now Hawthorns Boarding Kennels, is marked as being a police station.

Police Stations used to be in central locations because that's how they were most accessible to the public.

They also had a blue lamp, under which an old copper would stand and say: 'Evenin all !!'

They had boxes too until the Doctor ran off with them.

 

[BobClay]

Doctor Doctor, where have you put our police box ?

Well, it's located somewhere in 10 to the power of 500 alternate Universes, along a timeline of a googolplex years. Good luck with finding it ... )

(That'll teach the bastards to nick me for riding a bicycle without a back light.)

Some police forces used posts. Picture is a metal Met Pol one but Cambridge police had wooden ones
