Photographs, Negatives, Slides and Plates of Police

I had a date for this photograph but no location. I bought it with a collection of Sparkhill and Bordesley images. The officers were lined up for this image in May 1905. A huge thanks to Matt Pooler, who runs the Worcestershire Police History website, as he has provided a list of names of the police officers in this photograph. The images was captured at Sparkhill Police Station whilst the division was still part of Worcestershire Police. Matt has not only provided a list of names but also the station/beat they were stationed at the time.
