 We moved into the Police House, Main Road, Lacey Green, on a cold November day in 1967.    As the village bobby I was to accept 24 hour responsibility for Lacey Green, Speen, Loosley Row and Hampden.   There was a notice board outside the gate and a “County Police” sign over the front door.   The house had been built in the 1930’s for £350, and was a bit basic.   There were no electric points upstairs for example.
