A Bobbies Job (Images of Policing in Cheshire)

This is a beautiful collection of black and white photographs from the extensive archives held at the Cheshire Police Museum. This book delves into the history and development of policing in the Cheshire area, from the formation of the county’s first police forces in the early nineteenth century, through the Victorian and Edwardian period, the interwar years, and into the second half of the 20th century, when policing underwent fundamental change. Police buildings, transport, police dogs, and many other aspects are dealt with here. This well-researched and truly delightful book will appeal to all those interested in policing and local history.
