Following up the recent letter I received from The Old Man, which,among other things, mentioned the Milford Docks policemen. I ve had this bit of feedback from my old school chum, Graham Clarke, who sent this e-mail. Hi Jeff...just a short note about Docks policemen. Stan Jones and I spent every spare minute on the docks, and were welcomed everywhere by the men who worked there. The police always seemed to patrol in twos. The police station was at the docks entrance at the bottom of the Doctors Hill. The only person not to welcome us was Sgt Farmer. If we saw him it was a matter of running and hiding. Our favourite hiding place was to climb up underneath the old mackerel stage. Once hidden, it was impossible to be seen from above or below. Luckily he did not patrol very often, and I don t think we ever got caught.
