EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, three Metropolitan Police officers take a moment of respite from their duties in the cozy games room of the Convalescent Police Seaside Home, located at 205 Kingsway in Hove, East Sussex. The trio, consisting of WPC Muriel Lea from R Division, Woolwich; PC Bob Jones from E Division, Kentish Town; and Cadet Ian Lock from A Division, Cannon Row, are deeply engrossed in a friendly game of snooker, their focused expressions revealing their intense concentration. The room, adorned with wooden paneling and filled with the warm glow of a table lamp, also offers alternatives for recreation, including darts and table tennis, suggesting a well-rounded leisure experience for the convalescing officers. The late 1960s setting is further emphasized by the period-specific attire of the officers. WPC Lea wears her uniform with pride, her cap sitting neatly on the table next to her, while PC Jones dons a more casual mini-skirted uniform, and Cadet Lock is dressed in his cadet uniform. The photograph captures a sense of camaraderie and relaxation amidst the backdrop of the seaside town of Hove, with its coastline and mini skirts symbolizing the youthful spirit of the era. The Convalescent Police Seaside Home offered a much-needed break for officers in need of rest and recovery, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of leisure and camaraderie that defined the experience.
