EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1950s, showcases a rare moment of respite for a group of dedicated Metropolitan Police officers in London. The image features an eclectic mix of male and female officers, some of whom are identified as sergeants, taking a break in a cozy rest room. The women, including WPS Beatrice Bygrave, who is prominently seated on the right, are dressed in their smart uniforms complete with ties and buttons, while the men don their traditional uniforms with stripes on their sleeves. The officers are seen engaging in various activities during their afternoon break. Some are deeply engrossed in their newspapers or books, while others are engaged in lively chats with their colleagues. The room is adorned with shelves filled with books and tables scattered around, creating an inviting atmosphere. The presence of a clock on the wall suggests that this is a well-deserved break from their duties. This photograph is a testament to the history of gender equality in the police force during the 1950s, a time when women were making significant strides in employment opportunities. WPS Beatrice Bygrave, with her determined expression and poised demeanor, embodies the spirit of the women who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of policewomen. The image captures the camaraderie and unity among the officers, highlighting the shared experience of serving and protecting their community.
