Another great find at the museum. Truncheon commemorating the 1926 general strike at the old Austin factory Birmingham. Only issued to 69 Special Constables.@WMPHistory @SpecialsWMP
Quite a view at the vaccination clinic today. Dozens of loving children taking their vulnerable parents, some struggling with walking aids and wheelchairs. Living beneath that English stiff upper lip is a caring nation full of love and hope of returning to a normal
Look what we found in the dumb waiter shaft at the Lock-Up today. Potentially an original leather pillow, Ansells beer bottle, packet No6 cigarettes and a tin. What stories could these fellas tell? 🤓
@colincockles @DaveThompsonCC Digbeth PS has a long history of training police officers from Birmingham City police and around the country. We have many pictures in our archives of officers in that very same gym, many showing that fantastic clock in the background. Training moved to Tally Ho! after WWII.
