When The Whistle Stops

'When the whistle stops' is the first collection of biographies, stories, facts and photos produced as a result of two years exploring the dusty old boxes and long forgotten files that make up the history of Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Supported by 83 photographs and drawings - many of which have never been published before - you will find stories of bravery, bereavement, humour, intrigue and love. With direct quotes from original statements and old handwritten poems about life on the beat this is a novel collection this is a 'must have' for anyone with an interest in history, policing or great true stories. With stories dating from 1836 to the 1970s there is something for everyone in what is a celebration of the rich history of policing in the West Country.
