On Display this month:

 

Scotland Yard: First Appearance September 29, 1829

The first appearance of Greater London’s Metropolitan Police occurred amid jeering and abuse from disapproving political opponents.  Public sentiment turned to confidence and  respect in the ensuing years. The Metropolitan Police had been established by an act  of  Parliament in June 1829 at the request of Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel, after whom the London police officers became affectionately known as ‘bobbies’.  Scotland Yard, the site of their first headquarters near Charing Cross, soon became the official name of the force. 
Detectives of the British Isles
