Blimey, what a blast from the past! I remember this copper as a student in Nottingham in the early 80's! Used to station himself outside Yates's on a Saturday night, complete with wooden staff. Very imposing and DEF not the man you'd want to mess with
I spent a weekend there a few years after this was made, it was safe to walk around during the evening, how things have changed and not for the better !
If he was still working in 1983, I'm sure he's the same copper who gave me and my mate a stern telling off when he caught us pushing each other around in a shopping trolley.
We called him Slab Square ( old market Square), which is where you normally saw him from a mile away, definitely a well-respected officer , remember the old police box at end of Angel row, he probably didn't fit in it.
Top cop. I was 16 in 1979. I rember him well. I always knew I would follow in his footsteps and in 1996 after 15 years down the pit I became a police officer working from oxclose lane
