Sutton Historians: (Sutt)on the Beat: A history of Policing in Sutton
Friday 28 March 2025 at 2:00PM
Sutton Central Library
Event Description
In January 1840 the parish constables and ‘horse patrols’ in Sutton’s five ancient parishes handed over to P Division of the Metropolitan Police. How did a Wallington housekeeper get caught up in a libel case? What links Sutton and early policewomen? How did the area get caught up in the 19th century phenomenon of the railway murder? And who would be living in your average Edwardian police station?
Edward Smith has worked in the museums and heritage sector since 2007 and has been Curatorial Assistant at the Metropolitan Police Museum for over six years.
