He's hoping to find a 'Golden key' aren't we all.

I concur

I think the Lothian Coal Company had its own Polis, but there was also Midlothian Constabulary in the pit villages as well.

In the 1930s Walter Goodall retired and the couple returned with their boys to Rosewell, Midlothian where Walter became the pit policeman. All three of the boys joined the Army, and in WW2 'wee Stan' was a PT instructor at Achnacarry. Mystery solved and 🧵end. 😃

In 1916 the couple married in Newtongrange and moved to London. RSM Goodall returned to Cameroon and served out the war they were also blessed with 3 children Stan, Walter and Cameron. When the war ended Walter returned to the Met to complete his service 🧵

Whilst on leave at home in London he took a shine to a young music hall singer, Jane Moffat some 16 years his junior, she came from Sixth Street in Newtongrange and was the daughter of a miner.🧵

Before the war Walter Goodall from London had served in the Metropolitan Police and was one of the officers involved in the Sidney Street siege. On the outbreak of War he joined up and served in the Military Foot Police before transferring to the West African Field Force 🧵

I like the NE,including the 'Shire' holidayed there several times, Johnshaven last year, Portsoy 2 years ago and again this year, Banff 3 years ago.

I think it was kept in use as part of Torness emergency plan, depending on wind direction.

However, nothing, repeat nothing, is Polis proof.
