Radstock Museum’s first special exhibition of 2010 gives an insight into the history of Law & Order in Somerset, Bath and Bristol since the 18th Century. Many of the objects on display are not normally available for public inspection so this exhibition presents a rare opportunity to view.
Find out about crime & punishment, highwaymen, transportation, Henry Fielding and the Bow Street Patrol, Shepton Mallet Prison, the vital role played by the Police in responding to calls for help in weather emergencies such as the 1968 Keynsham & North Somerset Floods, bravery awards, Operation Julie and the detection of illegal LSD production in the 1970s…and much more! Where was Radstock’s Blood Ground and what happened there?
Aspects of Police Station routine and sports are featured. Various medals and trophies are on display including the cap awarded to Dai Davies, a Taunton officer who played for Wales and the British Lions.
