EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two young Metropolitan Police colleagues, WPC Gerry Cowper and Adrian Summers, are seen intently working on a jigsaw puzzle at the Convalescent Police Seaside Home located at 205 Kingsway in Hove, East Sussex, during the late 1960s. The interior of the room is filled with natural light pouring in through the large bay windows, offering a stunning view of the coastline and the sea beyond. The calming atmosphere of the seaside home is a stark contrast to the bustling streets of London where they would normally be on duty. WPC Gerry Cowper, a member of G Division in Stoke Newington, and Adrian Summers from the Police Cadet Training College in Hendon, are deep in concentration as they piece together the intricate puzzle. The jigsaw, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, serves as a welcome distraction from their daily police work. The image captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie between the two colleagues, highlighting the human side of the police force. The Convalescent Police Seaside Home was a place where injured or ill police officers and their families could go to rest and recover. The seaside location provided a much-needed respite from the stresses of their jobs, allowing them to recharge and return to duty. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these dedicated officers during a time when the Metropolitan Police Force was undergoing significant changes. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of taking time for oneself, even in the midst of a demanding career. The natural beauty of the Sussex coastline serves as a backdrop to this heartwarming scene, making it a truly captivating and timeless photograph.
