Description
Behind the Blue Lamp: A History of Scotland Yard's Police Stations 1829-2020 This book tells the story of over 400 police stations operated by the Metropolitan Police Service, from humble beginnings in 1829 to the present day. The lives of the officers who served in these stations are woven together to create a rich social history of the capital city over almost two centuries. The Metropolitan Police District has undergone significant changes over the years, including the development of new uniforms, equipment, and badges of rank. The book provides a detailed account of these changes, as well as the history of the various Divisions and the evolution of the police service as a whole. With its unique blend of history and social context, Behind the Blue Lamp offers a fascinating insight into the development of Scotland Yard and the men and women who have served there.
