Description
Set against the backdrop of 1920s South Shields, this memoir offers an authentic glimpse into life as a police officer in a major seaport town. Tom Duncan's stories of his early days on the beat bring to life the character and culture of the town nearly a century ago.
The book is written by John Orton, born and raised in South Shields, who brings a unique perspective to the memoirs of a Shields bobby. With tales of life and love, shipbuilding, coal mining, and community spirit, this book provides a fascinating insight into a bygone era.
