Having looked through my father’s notebooks an entry caught my eye, regarding Ex Deputy Chief Constable Goulder,he reported to Tutshill Police Station and my father a young Constable took details down, that a Mr Goulder ex officer of Gloucestershire Police, had complained of kids mucking about in Woodcroft. This was duly reported and action taken, the lads were 13,1 and 15 does this sound like the kids of today?
Thank you for this page. It carries many reminders of the life and service of a very much loved man who was my grandfather.
