Birmingham City Police 1839 - 1974

Will do, just found out from the 1921 census that my great grandad was at King's Norton fire station cotteridge. Hopefully I can get some records.
 
I think the photo was taken outside the house in Lightwoods Park. I doubt if they would all fit onto the bandstand there though!.
rosie.
Strangely enough I was thinking that the double bass and kettle drum players would have great problems trying to march along with those instruments! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
 
Hi Pagan.

What was your Dad's name I wonder?
I was on the Birmingham Dog Section (With Tosca) 1968 to 1974. I was based at Thornhill, very convenient as I lived in Handsworth at the time. As handlers though we covered the whole of 'C' Division.

Hi John
Do you remember Don Woodhall C222 and Ted Minchin Collators Office. Don lived in Beechglade, Handsworth Wood. He left in late 1973 to run a record shop in College Road. He re-joined in 1975.
Regards

Yes that was my dad. He was at Thornhill Road from 1965 until 1981 when he retired. He then did 10 years with WMP Community Services. He passed on in January 2011. I still have his old night helmet from early 50s! I retired in 2005 after 33 years with Birmingham City Police and WMP.
