Dudley Road Police Station was, to use an expression, the extension of Kenyon Street and officers from the latter were posted to Dudley Road for periods of time.
Of course working Dudley Road one needed a bicycle due to the distances an officer had to cover.
I collected my Raleigh cycle from my home and took it with me to that station after I had a temporary posting there. It was like being posted to the country when compared to Kenyon Street. Cycling down tree lined roads on a summers morning is one of the many memories I have of that station.
I was transferred to CID from there and left my bike in the shed at the rear. If the shed, let alone the station, is still there have a look for me. It was a green roadster type bike with a saddlebag. Only forty eight years ago and we know Raleigh made good bikes so it could be there.
