Yes In The Early Years These Police Stations Was Noritous ,Espespecialy In B,ham
As I Have Previously Mentioned About My Grand Parents The Jelfs , And Whilst My Mother Was Being Brought Up At No 1 New cannal Street Digbeth And The Gatherings Of Top Brass From Steel House Lane And The Torture Chambers Of Digbeth Police Station
Was Often Discussed About The Way They Handled Prisoners And They Used To Laugh About It And Tell Them Of Different Subjects That Was Brought In
And I Did Mention Once About A Guy Called Horris The Copper Riding Is Hercules Police Bike Around The Park After He Retired From The Police Force And Be Came A Park Keeper Well He Used To Show Them A Big Key On A Big Ring On ABunch Of Keys
And He Would Show Them What He Used To Do To The Prisoners And He Used To Beat Them Up All This Was Done At Digbeth Police Station , Before They Took Them Up To The Steel House Lane ,Digbeth Police Station Had The Worst Record For Beating Up Prisoners Any Crim; Used To Fear Being Took To Digbeth StationFor The Fear Of Beating ,And This Was The Senario From The Early Days Of The Twentys And The Thirtys Right Up Until About 1957 , When It All Stopped At Digbeth ,
