January/February 2015 -  The Police Wash Room was restored back to 1883

The whole roof had fallen in. This is just a portion after work had been carried out.

When the room had been cleared out, all the items were there. Nothing had been removed for 100 years!

Chairman Paul joseph leading the way.

Member Nigel John happy in his work.

Unlike 1883, the first police person to cross the threshold in 2015 was a Police Woman. WPC Janine

It now looks like this!

Note the copper boiler in the corner. Untouched for over 60 years. It was still complete. Even the fire sticks had been laid underneath.

Members Carole Field, Chris New and Lynne Morgan furnished the room in period detail. Most items were from the Museum's storerooms. Somedonations from members.        Thanks to All.
