Context

In May 1938 Brighton Borough Police celebrated its centenary with a number of events including a parade and inspection by the Mayor, two celebration dinners (there were two dinners to allow all officers to attend and ensure that police were on duty) and officers dressing in period costumes. These events are reported in this edition of the Brighton and Hove Herald. The museum also has invitations for the one of the celebration dinners (item 130), a menu for the meal (item 477) and booklets that were produced to commemorate the centenary (items 647 and 1234).
