Norfolk Police photos
« on: Saturday 25 July 09 06:41 UTC (UK) »

My Great great grandfather, David Stanley Jones, was an officer in the Norfolk police and was wondering if anyone had any photos as our family photos were destroyed before I was born and this maybe the only way to find one
He was at Cromer police between 30/10/1919 and 25/10/1921
Gissing police between 1921 and 1923
Hempnell police between 1923 and 1927
Hevingham police between 1927 and 1930

Then in 1931 he was required to resign, I have his police records and would really just like a photo if anyone has one they would kindly share

Hi there
Have you tried Norfolks HQ at Wymondham, they may(most do) have a museum and or some one who looks after the achives of such.
I thought that Hevingham was Suffolk by the way. I do know the person at Suffolk who looks after such records

To be honest, I dont know where Hevingham is!! I just assumed it was in Norfolk as I was told he never moved out of Norfolk.
I have a neighbour who works at Wymondham HQ,we only live 5mins away! I didn't even know they had museums or anything like that, they didn't mention it when I applied for his police records!
Many thanks though,
Danielle

I must have been thinking of the place just outside Halesworth

It's been a month or so since your post but I have visited the Police Headquarters at Wymondham and they do indeed have some old photos decorating the walls of the inner entrance lobby.

If you haven't already had a look take a look at this page - http://www.norfolk.police.uk/articleListing.cfm?bctrail=0,535&catID=846

Then - dig at the links to this - http://www.norfolk.police.uk/artPDF/archivej.pdf

I do hope this might be who you are looking for and that they may have more info for you.
