EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Vintage Moment in Time: A Police Constable and a Women Police Constable outside Kennington Road Station, South East London, 1960s 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment in time outside Kennington Road police station in South East London during the 1960s. The image features a Police Constable (PC) and a Women Police Constable (WPC) in their traditional uniforms. The PC is intently focused on checking the contents of his notebook, while the WPC watches over the scene with a stern yet composed expression. 3. Context: The 1960s were a period of significant change in the United Kingdom, and the police force was no exception. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional uniforms and equipment carried by the officers of the time. The PC wears a peaked cap with a chin strap, a helmet under his arm, and a uniform adorned with buttons and a chain. The WPC dons a similar uniform, complete with a helmet, but with a distinctive skirt instead of trousers. 4. Historical Significance: The presence of both a PC and a WPC in this photograph highlights the increasing role of women in the police force during the 1960s. Women had been allowed to join the police force in the UK since 1915, but their numbers remained relatively low. By the 1960s, however, the number of WPCs was on the rise, and they began to play a more prominent role in law enforcement. 5. Conditions of Use: This photograph is available for historical and educational use only. It is essential to respect the intellectual property rights of the copyright holder, Mary Evans Picture Library, and to obtain proper clearance before using the image for any commercial purposes.
