  • I used google maps and found the location of the police office.

    It is on the junction of Chertsey crescent and Overbury crescent in New Addington.

    At the time of writing (2013) it is still standing but is now the New Addington Women's centre. I assume the row of houses behind the office were police married quarters because an extension has since been built between them and the office, joining them together.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
