Hi Dave
You don't have any information on the Nottingham / Chesterfield / Doncaster police do you ? we have a William H Bunney ( b1846 ) that was in the force in 1871.

My goodness Dave. You really have started something here. You have to be very careful before mentioning that you have access to something. You'd be amazed at how many people would be interested! 
If you've not completely worn out the pages - any chance that you could look up my great grandfather - William Fall? I believe that he was in the Hull police force around the early 1890s, possibly into the 1900s.
(He was apparently thrown out - my mother thought that it was because he drank, my aunt thought that it was because he beat up a man to preventing the man hitting the man's wife and child. )
Thanks. I appreciate it
Isobel

Im aware of a PC William Whitelam who was often mentioned in the Hull papers C1860. He was the 100th police officer enlisted in the city.
As for Sculcoates police station, it was situated on Church St which is now wincomlee. Its sadly gone but was adjoined to Sculcoates Inn on one side and the family home of a Jack the Ripper suspect.
The police station was built around 1878 as the headquarters of C division.
F.S.Smith the victorian artist drew a brilliant picture of the police station looking south.
There was also a photo of the whole of C division in Images of Hull, Kingston upon hull the second selection by paul gibson. The book also contains a photo of the adjacent pub.
Hope this helps

Here are two images of Sculoates police station. The first is a drawing from the FS Smith book images of Victorian Hull vol 2.
The second image is an actual photo of the station complete with the entire staff of C division. Hope this helps

The Sculcoates inn is next door to the police station and I have a brilliant picture of that , FS Smith missed no detail in his books, I am working my way through both Victorian Hull 1 and Victorian Hull 2. The first concentrates more on the old town, high street etc.
Were as the second book goes further afield.
Both fantastic reads.
