The rise and fall of the Police Box

The rise and fall of the Police Box

The 'Tardis' of the Doctor Who BBC television series is all that most know about the police box. These boxes have a far more interesting history, which was virtually unknown today before the publication of this book.

The Rise and Fall of the Police Box is a meticulously researched and illustrated book by a retired Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police who is well qualified to write on the subject as the boxes were an important part of his day to day duty as a young constable in London in the 1950s and 60s.

Although this book is really directed at the ordinary reader with an interest in finding out more about this iconic part of police history, it will also be a godsend for the researcher and academic. Libraries and museums will find it a source of unequalled reference, as will police box afficionados and Doctor Who enthusiasts.
