Police and Motor Bike at Pier 1930s
The local sergeant keeping an eye on the Ariel motor bike and side-car driver. In the background the old public telephone box. Although the familiar red telephone box was designed in 1924, it was only in the late 1930s that it became widespread, and it clearly hadn’t reached Newport at the time of this photograph.
