Description
Gwendoline Crockford's story is one of pioneering spirit and determination. In 1951, at just 21 years old, she became one of the first women to join the Berkshire Constabulary as a Police Constable.
This memoir offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era, revealing the social history of post-war Britain through Crockford's experiences on the beat. With its engaging narrative and vivid characters, the book takes readers on a journey through a world of austerity and societal change.
From dealing with juvenile delinquency to solving burglaries, Crockford's adventures as a WPC are full of unexpected twists and turns. This is a story of grit and darkness, but also of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
