Description: | This Special Constable's baton was used by Mr Luckley to put down a strike at Elswick Works in 1888. Special Constables were not permanently on duty, but called in to control strikes and riots. The baton was made by Parker, Field and Sons of Holborn, who supplied truncheons to the police throughout the 1800s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work politics living in the North East emergency services | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
