I wish I could have ran home there and then! Don't worry, couple of hours time and I'll be away, and provided I can sort out the scanning at the right resolution, perhaps I'll have something we can play with!
Thanks for googling the photographer, it's one of those things I meant to do and didn't (smacked hand) so your help is appreciated Rachel!
In the meantime, google has had it's hands full today - I've been looking up all sorts - I started to wonder about the reason for the leather cuffs and can't figure why they might be, any thoughts? I did find an article relating to the Northamptonshire County Constabulary (unlikely but not impossible I guess) which suggested that the uniform would be similar:
"Early 1900s - early 1950s
Tunics still high necked with numbers on collar, but now have two breast pockets. No belt and only five buttons. The double peaked caps continued in use until the end of the Great War, but after that helmets became the only headgear for Constables and Sergeants, although a different style of helmet, similar to the one in use today, wad adopted. The small badge previously on the front of the caps, however, is retained for the helmet. Inspectors and above wear flat caps similar to today, but still had different tunics."
I need to check, but I suspect this might be a bit late for this picture?
Come on time, pass, I want to go home!!
