Preserving the History of Railway, Dock and Canal Policing
Ivor Kerslake’s gallery
Sadly, Ivor Kerslake (10/08/1935-15/04/2019) died this year, aged 83.
He served as a Constable both as a Dog Handler and later in the Control Room at Birmingham New Street police station, retiring in 1990 after over 30 years’ service.
His daughter, Michelle, has been good enough to share some of his photographs and clippings with us.
